Dunlop Racing Tyres
Historic Dunlop Racing Tyres are not like other racing tyres. Racing tyres are normally designed purely for racing,and no compromises are made for road suitability.However due to popular demand and in Dunlops acknowledgement that many drivers of vintage and classic road legal race cars prefer to drive them to and from events Dunlop have carried out a complete test and development program on the Dunlop Racing Tyres resulting in "E" marking accreditation on certain vintage and classic Dunlop racing tyres. These are the 16" & above Dunlop racing R5, R1, 3-stud & 5-stud pattern. The L and M section Dunlop Racing tyres unfortunately are NOT road legal.
Dunlop Racing Tyre pressures: no firm rule exists on pressures as classic and vintage car weights, rims and circuits do vary. However sufficient pressure must be used to avoid structural problems. We suggest the starting point should be based on the car's original road going pressures and subsequently adjusted to compensate for over and understeer, found in many vintage and classic cars.
Dunlop Race Tyres are the control tyres for many historic race series, this is because they are all made with the "204" tyre compound and it is seen as a fair way of setting a level playing field as far as tyres go.
