310/710/18 GoodYear Slick TYRE GT

1. Product introduction

The GoodYear Slick Circuit 310/710R18 GT tyre is a competition tyre intended for circuit use, formerly sold under the Dunlop brand. Designed for GT vehicles and racing cars with 18 inch wheels, it offers high grip, precision and consistency in dry track conditions.

2. Role of the part

A slick tyre provides the direct connection between the vehicle and the track, without a tread pattern in order to maximise the contact patch. This design optimises traction, braking, stability under cornering loads and steering precision during intensive circuit use. The choice of compound adapts the tyre's handling to temperature conditions, vehicle type and stint length.

3. Symptoms or consequences of a worn or unsuitable tyre

• Loss of grip under acceleration, braking or cornering loads.
• Longer braking distances on track.
• Reduced grip after several heat cycles.
• Uneven wear linked to camber, pressure or wheel alignment.
• Risk of overheating, blistering or delamination during intensive use.
• Less consistent lap times and reduced confidence behind the wheel.

4. Benefits of replacement

• Restores optimum grip on dry tracks.
• Improves driving precision and stability in fast corners.
• Promotes better traction on corner exit.
• Allows the compound to be adapted to the type of event and driving conditions.
• Contributes to performance and consistency over short or long stints depending on the chosen compound.
• Meets the demands of motorsport and high-performance circuit days.
