Dunlop GT501G Bias Sport Tires

Successor to the K591 sport tire featues bias ply construction and a radial style tread pattern Based on the attributes that brought the K591 so many racing successes, the GT501 retains the K591’s bias-ply construction, but features a radial-style tread pattern for more contemporary styling and a larger footprint. Compared to the K591, the GT501 features an optimized profile for a larger contact patch that yields increased cornering confidence, with smooth side-toside transitions. Other improvements include a higher tread-to-void ratio for superior grip in dry conditions, with no loss of grip in the wet. An increase in pattern depth at the center of the tread provides improved wear characteristics and even better water clearance. In addition, the GT501’s new tread pattern offers increased stability in road ridges and rain grooves. Available now, the GT501 fits most bias-tire-equipped motorcycles. Front tires utilize the same rubber compound as the successful K591, while rear tires feature a new, improved compound that results in better wear resistance and greater grip. The V-rated American-made GT501s have been thoroughly engineered to provide maximum performance in a wide range of applications.
