Do you remember how well Dunlop did while in MotoGP?
Dunlop was almost exclusively the sole supplier to the AMA
Daytona is a unique track that generates stresses unlike any other. You need a tire constructed for a specific purpose, which is entirely different for any other track in the world.
The tire budgets for the pinnacle of motorsports(MotoGP) are entirely different than the tire budgets in a National series.
