FAQs
Can I use these tyres on my daily commute?
No, these are NHS (Not for Highway Service) tyres intended solely for professional racing or track use.
Are these tyres tubeless?
Yes, this is a Tubeless (TL) tyre.
How should I store these tyres between track days?
Store them in a cool, dark place, ideally wrapped to protect the rubber compound from oxidation.
What happens if the track dries out while I am using these?
Using rain tyres on a dry, hot track will cause them to overheat and wear out extremely quickly, and they may not provide the stability of a dry-weather tyre.
Do I need special wheels for this tyre?
As long as your rim size matches the tyre specifications (180/55 R17), you can use your standard track rims provided they are compatible with tubeless configurations.
Troubleshooting
Tyre feels unstable or 'squirmy' on the track
Check your tyre pressures, as wet-track pressures are typically lower than dry-track settings to increase the contact patch size.
Rapid or uneven tread wear
Ensure your suspension is properly tuned for the specific wet-track setup and check that you are not over-riding the tyre on drying patches of track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tyre is a Tubeless (TL) construction and must be mounted by professional technicians using appropriate track-side equipment. As an NHS (Not for Highway Service) product, verify your track organization's regulations before installation. To ensure optimal performance, maintain the manufacturer-recommended pressure specific to wet racing temperatures. Always inspect the tyre for debris and check for uneven wear patterns after every session. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the chemical properties of the racing compound.
