FAQs

What does 'TL' mean on the tyre designation?

'TL' stands for Tubeless, indicating that this tyre is designed to be used without an inner tube.

Can I use this tyre in dry conditions?

This tyre is specifically engineered for wet race conditions. While it may function in dry conditions, its performance, grip, and durability will be significantly compromised, and it is not recommended for dry use.

How do I adjust the N-TEC pressure system?

The N-TEC system involves adjusting the air pressure within the tyre. Specific recommended pressures for various wet conditions should be obtained from racing technical guides or experienced team personnel.

What is the lifespan of these racing tyres?

The lifespan of racing tyres varies greatly depending on track conditions, riding style, pressure settings, and the number of heat cycles. These tyres are designed for peak performance during races and may have a shorter lifespan compared to street tyres.

Is this tyre suitable for street use?

No, this tyre is a specialized racing tyre designed for closed-course track use in wet conditions. It is not intended or approved for general road use.

What does 'WA' signify in the tyre size?

'WA' typically refers to a specific compound or construction variant within the Dunlop range, optimized for certain performance characteristics, often related to wet weather grip.

Troubleshooting

Tyre feels unstable or lacks grip in wet conditions.

Verify tyre pressure using the N-TEC system. Ensure it is set within the recommended range for wet racing. Check for any foreign objects or debris on the tyre surface. Ensure the tyre is properly seated on the rim.

Rapid wear or premature degradation.

Confirm that the tyre is being used within its intended wet racing conditions. Over-inflation or under-inflation can accelerate wear. Check for aggressive riding styles or improper setup causing excessive stress.

Tyre does not seat properly on the rim.

Ensure the rim is clean and free of damage. Use appropriate tire mounting lubricant. If the issue persists, consult a professional tire fitter; the rim may be incompatible or damaged.
