Tec Info: N-Tec construction (New Technology) is Dunlop's very best construction road racing tire. The D211GP rear tire features a nylon carcass overlaid with two nylon breaker belts and a continuously wound, aramid-fiber tread belt for cooler-running, excellent straight-line stability and virtually no circumferential tire growth. Dunlop's N-Tec steel bead and its high-modulus bead apex combine to offer improved feel for the rider as the tire nears its cornering limit, producing the "predictability" that has become a signature characteristic of Dunlop road racing tires. |

The multi-compound D211GP rear tread is an ingenious design that results in the first production racing tire to utilize seven tread zones: a high-modulus traction compound in the center and two lateral grip sections on each side, both separated by a triangular support region-all extruded as a one-piece unit. Sharing the spotlight with the D211GP rear is the D211GP front tire. Dunlop's multi-compound front utilizes radial construction and features two nylon carcass plies and two aramid cut-breaker carcass belts. A thin, high-modulus carcass compound is layered under these belts to minimize and distribute the forces transmitted from the aramid belts to the carcass plies under hard braking. The D211GP front tire also combines Dunlop's N-Tec steel bead and unique bead apex design to further stabilize handling at full lean. |

Track Data: Barber, Road Atlanta, Talladega, Blackhawk, Road America, Mid Ohio, Homestead, Grattan, Loudon, Nashville, Summit, Beaver Run, VIR - Front 6704 or 6680 work well. The 6680 may be a bit more consistent and last longer on hot days. Grip is about the same for both unless real hot and the 6680 is better. 6671 would be used for endurance if not too cold. Rear 6714 or 7704 or 6680 all work well at these tracks. If the outside temp is less than 70 degrees, the 7614 may be more likely to cold tear. 7614 is best used in hot temps and it will not last as long as the other compounds but will grip very well. 6680 is the most durable and consistent of the compounds. It is not far off the grip of 7704 but has better durability and less susceptible to cold tearing. |

Daytona: tire used at Daytona must be the recommended Daytona compounds of 2783 front and W722 rear. Any other compound is not recommended for Daytona and WILL overheat at some point. It is not advised to use a non-Daytona compound for even just a few laps at Daytona. The high banks of Daytona create excessive heat over other racetracks. |
