The Dunlop GP Racer D212 is a high-performance tire designed for track day enthusiasts and club-level racers seeking exceptional grip and handling. This tire sits above road/track day tires but below full racing slicks in Dunlop's performance hierarchy. It is intended for dry conditions and performs best when used with tire warmers.
The GP Racer D212 utilizes a soft compound to maximize grip on the track. Its construction incorporates Jointless Belt (JLB) technology for smoother handling and a more stable contact patch. The tire also features Jointless Tread (JLT) technology, which allows for precise positioning of multiple compounds across the tire to optimize durability, wear resistance, and grip. Dunlop's NTEC system allows riders to adjust tire pressures to optimize performance for varying track conditions.
Compared to some other track tires, the GP Racer D212 is known for its predictable handling and consistent performance. It provides excellent feedback at the limit, communicating its grip level to the rider. The tire's profile promotes quick turn-in and reduced steering effort. With a UTQG treadwear rating of 75, the GP Racer D212 offers a balance of grip and durability for track day use.
