The Dunlop CR65 Racing tire is a competition-oriented tire specifically designed for vintage and historic racing applications. It caters to drivers seeking authentic performance and handling characteristics reminiscent of classic racing eras. The CR65 is a popular choice for events like the Goodwood Revival and is often specified as the control tire for various historic racing series.
This tire utilizes a very soft compound optimized for exceptional dry grip and responsive handling on the track. The design promotes predictable handling at the limit, allowing drivers to confidently explore the tire's capabilities. The Dunlop CR65 incorporates the '204' compound, balancing grip and longevity.
While not intended for street use, the CR65 revives the classic tread pattern used extensively in the 1950s and 1960s. Dunlop still manufactures the CR65 using original molds but with modern compounds. The CR65 is designed for tubeless use. The UTQG treadwear rating of 40 indicates an extremely soft compound formulated for maximum grip in track conditions, and consequently, a shorter lifespan than typical road tires.
