What’s the difference between the GPA and GP?

The 211 GPA is made in the US factory in Buffalo, NY. The GP is made in England factory in Birmingham, England. Both are N-Tech construction, low pressure and zero growth tires. Depending on many factors, the GPA is on a par with the GP or within 1/2 a second lap time of GP. Some riders report the GP provides more competitive laps. Again, the choice is yours.

How many Heat Cycles can I get out of a tire?

Heat Cycles is not an issue with Dunlop racing tires as it would be with other brands. The more important factor is how much tread is left on the tire. Stable fact: thicker rubber has more grip and develops more heat, thinner rubber has less grip and runs cooler. After each session you have less grip. As the tire wears out, you have less and less grip. It could be slight or it could be large.

Some riders call it heat cycling, but, in actuality, its the rubber getting thinner and thinner. It truly depends on how much the tire is worn out, and your specific demands for grip that determines when the tire is not usable for you.

How much life can I get out of my tires?

Using the data above regarding Heat Cycling, it’s really your judgment call. There are too many variables such as the bike size, bike setup, track, weather conditions, riding style and much more.

What compound of tire is better in hot versus cold weather?

As a general rule, softer compounds cold tear more easily. In the cold weather, you should run a compound that is more hard than soft. You can find compound information for each tire here http://dunlopracing.com/technical-info/ and downloading the Compound and Sizing Information PDF.

In hot weather, you need to run the recommended compound for the track for that particular tire.

We have 1 price across the board for all riders. In 2011 we decided to lower the price of our USA product to the rock bottom.

Thus all riders pay the same price and those that win races can get contingency to help support their program.

How do I store my tires over the winter and will they be ok?

Over the winter, your tires should be stored in a place where temperatures are above freezing. DO NOT store them next to electric motors or near chemicals like fertilizer. They produce ozone and will deteriorate the tire.

Tire pressures for Q2′s? And do I use a tire warmer on them?

If you are riding on the street, read your owners manual for recommended tire pressures. If you are riding on the race track, a good starting point is 32 front and 32 rear. After riding on the track and before you go on the street, let your tires cool, then adjust back to the pressures recommended in your bikes owners manual, Warmers are optional, but if you choose to use them, you can get tire warmer recommendations here http://www.dunlopracing.com/Warmers.pdf .

Can I prepay for my tires and you bring them with you to the track?

You can not prepay for your tires and have them brought to the track. You can either order and have them shipped directly to you or, buy them directly from our service truck at the track. There is an abundant supply at the track. If you need something special, you can call and order ahead of time. Otherwise, get your tires at the truck early, if you are unsure if they will sell out.
