Dunlop FF Tyres
I understand that many FF series have been run in the UK since the mid-1980's on the Dunlop CR-82 pattern FF tyre with the 9092 compound. We are going to select two cars of different vintages for two different classes in a series that uses this Dunlop as the exclusive, "spec" tyre. Could you suggest how I could research which cars seemed to make the best use of this tyre over the years? I would then hope to "map" their suspension and determine what camber change curves, roll centers, etc., these tyres seem to like.
Also, I am having no luck with getting a response from Dunlop UK. Would anyone happen to know a Dunlop tyre engineer? Any assistance, references, etc would be greatly appreciated. Best Wishes, DC |

The Avon ACB9 is very close in terms of construction and tread pattern to the Dunlops. Try Avon for info on this?
