Hi. Making a break from the norm and have been given some Dunlop Sportmax GP tyres instead of the supercorsas i usually run. Thought id give them a bash at Cadwell this week to see how they compare. The thing is, I remember having a conversation with a racer who was using them. He was telling me that the rear due to its stiffer carcase didnt generate much heat so he had to run the rear at lower than normal pressures.
Has anyone else used these on track, if so what pressures did you run them at?
Cheers Tim

Never used them myself, but since you havent had any replies i'll add my bit. I've heard the same thing about dunlop race tyres, the gp209 ntecs apparently have a very stiff carcass. I've seen it mentioned on the pb forum that 24psi at the rear for a fireblade which is a fair bit lower than normal.

I guess you'll have to find out with a bit of trial and error.

cheers

Well first impressions of the dunlops, wasnt too impressed. Started with the front at 30 and the rear at 28 (cold). I was getting a lot of chatter so i dropped the rear 2 psi which sorted the problem.
All in all the tyres weren't too bad but i think i prefere supercorsas.
