265/605/16 GoodYear Slick Rain tyre Prototype

1. Product Introduction

The GoodYear Slick Rain circuit tyre 265/605/16 in W3 compound is intended for prototypes, sports prototypes and Radical type competition vehicles operating on wet tracks. Based on the GoodYear know-how, formerly Dunlop in competition, this rain tyre is designed to offer traction, precision and safety when grip becomes precarious.

2. Role of the part

The role of a circuit rain tyre is to ensure optimal contact between the vehicle and the track in wet conditions. Its specific W3 compound and its adapted design allow water to evacuate, limit loss of grip and maintain stable behavior during braking, acceleration and support phases in turns.

3. Symptoms or consequences of a worn or defective part

• Perte d’adhérence sur piste mouillée ou détrempée.
• Increased braking distances.
• Risque accru d’aquaplaning.
• Manque de motricité en sortie de virage.
• Unstable behavior of the vehicle when supporting or braking.
• Irregular wear that can reduce the performance and consistency of the tyre.

4. Advantages of replacement

• Improved grip on wet tracks.
• Better water evacuation thanks to a dedicated rain design.
• Gain confidence when braking and entering corners.
• optimised traction for prototypes and light competition vehicles.
• Consistent performance in difficult driving conditions.
• Replacement recommended to maintain a level of safety and efficiency suitable for circuit use.
