285/660/18 GoodYear Slick Rain tyre GT

GoodYear 285/660R18 GT circuit wet tyre

The GoodYear Slick Pluie 285/660R18 GT tyre, formerly marketed under the Dunlop brand, is a competition tyre designed for circuit use in wet conditions. Developed for GT-type vehicles, it offers high levels of grip, traction and stability when the track is wet or waterlogged.

Role of the part

The wet tyre maintains contact between the vehicle and the track when grip conditions deteriorate. Its specific tread pattern disperses water from beneath the tread to limit the risk of aquaplaning while maintaining an optimal contact patch for braking, acceleration and cornering.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or unsuitable tyre

• Loss of grip on damp tracks
• Longer braking distances
• Increased risk of aquaplaning
• Lack of traction when exiting corners
• Unstable handling at high speed
• Uneven wear that may reduce performance

Benefits of replacement

• Improved safety and grip on wet tracks
• Better water dispersal thanks to the wet tread pattern
• More precise response under braking and cornering loads
• Optimised traction for competition GT vehicles
• Consistent performance depending on the choice of W2 or W3 compound
• Product suited to the demands of circuit driving and motor racing
