New sounds good, though if you've ever run on the old Dunlops you'll be a
little cautious. The old compound made tire wear a non-issue. I have a set
with ten races on them that are indistinguishable from new. They also make
going fast a non-issue. The best I could do on them at PIR was more than
five seconds slower on a track that Peyote turns 1:31 on with Hoosiers.

Subject: New Dunlop Radial race tire
FOT ,
Does anyone have any feedback on these tires yet? I wore through my first
set of Vintage TD's and the idea of running on radials appeals to me.
These apparantly are the same height, and close in other specs.

This tire is not USA DOT legal but is European road legal. It will
probably not be possible to get USA DOT approval for these tires. Reasons
of cost were given to me when I inquired.
