The Dunlop KR109 is a front racing slick designed for high-performance track and competition use. This tire caters to professional racers and serious track day enthusiasts seeking maximum grip and precise handling. It is a premium racing tire that sits at the forefront of Dunlop's race tire development.
The KR109 features a very soft compound engineered to deliver exceptional grip on dry surfaces, inspiring confidence when cornering at high speeds. Its profile promotes rapid turn-in and direction changes, allowing for confident corner entry. The tire is often paired with the Dunlop KR108 rear slick to create a balanced and predictable handling package.
Dunlop employs construction technologies in the KR109, such as a Jointless Band (JLB) casing to promote stability and MT (Multi-Tread) compound configuration. These features contribute to the tire's overall performance, stability, and longevity on the track.
Compared to other tires in its category, the KR109 stands out as a top-tier option for those prioritizing outright grip and responsiveness. It is used in international and national racing series. While the KR109 offers exceptional performance, optimal use requires careful attention to tire pressures and operating temperatures, often benefiting from the use of tire warmers.
