These prices apply only to tires sold at Superbike Shootout Races. For personal Trackday tests contact your local Dunlop Race Tire Distributor for prices and availability.

3. How are tire sales and on-track tire usage verified?

Throughout the race weekend, Dunlop will maintain a continuously-updated record of tire sales for each rider. These records will be available to Superbike Shootout Racing for verification at any point during the race weekend.

Superbike Shootout will use a tire-sticker identification system to monitor actual on-track tire use for each competitor.

4. What about used tires?

Used tires from previous race weekends, practice, or testing may be used during a Superbike Shootout weekend (Friday-Sunday) as long these are the approved specs for the race event, these tires will count against the riders’ permitted weekend tire count shown in Item #2 (above).

5. What sales restrictions apply?

Race track sales are restricted to tires actually fitted to rims at the event. Tires will not be available at the track for “carry-away” sales.

6. What about returns?

No returns or compound exchanges will be accepted. Dunlop strongly recommends Riders and Teams to select their preferred compound choice wisely.

7. What Dunlop decals and patches are required on riders and bikes?

Riders are required to display 3 Dunlop patches on their leathers in all competition and practice, one on each upper front shoulder (in the clavicle/epaulet area) , and one in the lower back area (above the waistline).

All bikes must display at least two Dunlop decals on each side of any motorcycle used in all competition and practice. A 5 ½” vertical Dunlop decal must be placed on each lower fork leg or front fender. A second horizontal Dunlop decal measuring no less than 11”, must be placed in a highly-visible position on the fairing.

Riders and teams are not permitted to display the logos, canopies, banners, trademarks or brand identification of any other tire company.

Dunlop stickers, patches and decals will be available at the Dunlop Service and at Superbike Shootout technical inspection.

8. How do I buy tires?

Tires will be available for purchase at Superbike Shootout Events through Dunlop’s official race-tire distributor.
