DOC44 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
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?
