310/710/18 GoodYear Slick Rain tyre Prototype

Product introduction

The GoodYear Slick Pluie 310/710R18 circuit tyre is a competition tyre intended for prototypes and racing vehicles driving on wet tracks. Formerly marketed under the Dunlop brand, this W2-compound wet tyre is designed to offer high levels of grip, traction and stability in substantial standing water on circuits.

Role of the part

A competition wet tyre's role is to disperse water on the track effectively to maintain contact between the tread and the asphalt. Its specific tread pattern, soft compound and suitable carcass help limit grip loss, improve braking and maintain good driving precision in the rain.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or faulty part

• Progressive loss of grip on damp or waterlogged tracks
• Longer braking distances
• Increased risk of aquaplaning in a straight line or under cornering loads
• Reduced traction when exiting corners
• Unstable handling during changes in cornering load
• Reduced lap-time performance and driving safety

Benefits of replacement

• Restores optimal grip on wet tracks
• Improves driving precision and driver confidence
• Promotes better water dispersal thanks to a suitable tread
• Optimises braking, traction and stability in wet conditions
• Ideal solution for races, private testing and trackdays in wet conditions
