200/58/15 GoodYear Slick tyre Prototype

1. Product Introduction

The GoodYear Slick Circuit 200/580R15 tyre, formerly marketed under the Dunlop brand, is a competition tyre designed for exclusive use on circuits. Intended for sports vehicles, prototypes and racing cars equipped with 15 inch rims, it offers a high level of grip, precision and consistency in intensive driving conditions.

2. Role of the part

The slick tyre provides the direct connection between the vehicle and the track. Thanks to its smooth tread, it maximizes the contact surface with the ground in order to improve traction, braking, support stability and cornering speed. This type of tyre is specifically developed to operate at high temperatures on dry surfaces.

3. Symptoms or consequences of a worn or defective part

• Loss of grip when accelerating, braking or supporting
• Longer braking distances
• Reduced steering precision
• Irregular wear, brake flats or compound tearing
• Decrease in lap performance and less consistent behavior
• Increased risk of loss of control during intensive use

4. Advantages of replacement

• Restores optimum dry-track grip
• Improves vehicle stability when cornering quickly
• optimises traction when going around
• Promotes more efficient and consistent braking
• Allows you to adapt the behavior of the vehicle thanks to the choice of Medium or Hard compound
• Suitable for competition, advanced trackday or prototype circuit use
