dunlop 211 compound codes

[moto316]

ive got some 211 ntec takeoffs and im trying to find out which compound they are, i understand that they come in 7614,7704 and 6680 versions but i cant find any combination of these numbers on the sidewall. Can anyone provide me any insight?

I have the chart for the compounds....here u go all my Ntec's seem to be 6680 but I am running takeoff's...

you think itd be alright to run the daytonas at loudon for a trackday? From what i gathered about them theyre built to handle the extra heat from the high banks at daytona, and their compound is asymmetrical (harder compound on the left half of the tire than the right). Im afraid that i wont be able to get enough heat into them at loudon and ill bin it from a cold tire crash. I have to pick the lesser of two evils, these 211 daytonas or my soft compound bridgestone slicks that have about 3 trackdays on them. What do you think i should go with?

I don't know how fast you are but if it was me I wouldn't worry to much....people push DOT's and have lived...and those will be worse than A-specs for sure.

U got warmers and what day U doing and with WHO.....

They can be used but they are not Ideal. If you really want to enjoy your track day.. and not have brick tires in the back of your mind... then I would consider getting a non daytona set.

T2 & T12 along with the bowl etc... can be tricky with Daytona tires. I have used them as they were left on wheels after being at Daytona... and was able to ride them.. but the first few laps can be tricky.
