It could be that they aren't suitable for road racing, but are OK on short circuits. Road racing can be pretty hard on tyres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the TT is a very strong global brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxTaxPayer Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Perhaps you could ask someone to explain it for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Todd’s front tyre had an issue too. Videos about on social media. Then none of the top riders on Dunlops raced in the final super bike race (except Rutter - and I wonder if he just banged a different brand of tyre on his bike for that race?) They put it down to a bad batch - but I’m not sure how big a batch is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still supplying tyres for the event, just not the ones used at the North West 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
