Dunlop recommends that tire warmers be set at 70°-80°C for 45 minutes to 1 hour (maximum); tire performance degradation may occur if tires are subjected to repeated tire warming cycles, and/or temperatures/times in excess of these.
This chart excludes Daytona.
Width and Diameter are measured on recommended rim.

Features
- Official Tire of MotoAmerica.
- Sportmax Slicks have updated profiles for a larger contact patch, new compounds, and new sizes.
- Sportmax Slicks have revised compounds and naming structures to be more intuitive: R0 (softest) to R8 (most durable). The low numbers for easier or hotter tracks and the higher numbers for more abrasive or cold tracks.
- NTEC: N-TEC combines the benefits of compliant cut-breaker construction with stiffer, continuously wound aramid-fiber, and Jointless Band (JLB) construction for maximum feel and stability.
- JLB: Jointless Band construction for maximum feel and stability when leaned over for more support when on the gas.
- Multiple compounds to meet the demanding requirements for all road racing courses and conditions.
- Made in the U.S.A.
