SLICK MAX 64 Black Pat

The SRC Black Pat Compound: When Wear Control Makes a Difference on Track

The SRC MAX 64 Black Pat tyres are born from the combination of base rubber with the Black Pat compound, developed exclusively by the brand. The result is a unique rear tyre, common among drivers seeking precision in their racing line without sacrificing grip in key sectors.

Main Features

• Exclusive Black Pat Compound: proprietary formulation from SRC that you won't find in any other tyre on the market.
• Dimensions: 17.6 x 10.3 mm, MAX 64 rear format.
• Pack of 4 units per reference (SRCRN0117 / RM0117).
• Controlled Wear: maintains the wear pattern of MTX tyres but with a characteristic delay that extends the lifespan and consistency of performance.
• Rear Section: specifically designed for the rear axle.

Behaviour and Performance

The Black Pat occupies a very specific place in the SRC catalogue: it is neither the softest nor the hardest, but the one that is most forgiving for drivers who push the entry into corners. The delay in wear allows the tyre's geometry to be maintained for longer, resulting in more predictable and consistent driving throughout the session or heat.

The differentiating grip in the sector is the feature that regular drivers value the most. In sections where the track begins to show wear on the plastic, the Black Pat responds with greater consistency than other compounds of similar hardness.

Recommended Applications

These tyres are particularly suited for tracks with eroded plastic grain, a common condition on club tracks with some usage. On very fresh or particularly abrasive surfaces, it is advisable to consider other references from the SRC catalogue to adjust the compound to the actual state of the track.

Mounting and Preparation

As these are competition tyres, it is common to subject them to a grinding or truing process before mounting to ensure perfect concentricity with the rim. A well-centred tyre with a uniform surface maximises the properties of the Black Pat compound.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the MAX 64 Black Pat and the MAX 64 MTX?

The MTX and Black Pat share the same base wear pattern, but the Black Pat compound incorporates a delay that causes the tyre to wear more slowly and maintain grip more consistently throughout the heat.

What type of track are they recommended for?

SRC recommends the Black Pat for tracks with eroded plastic grain, meaning tracks with considerable accumulated use. Under these conditions, the compound offers more consistent and differentiating performance.

How many units are included in the pack?

The pack contains 4 units under reference SRCRN0117.

Is it necessary to true the tyres before use?

It is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended in competitive contexts. Truing ensures the concentricity of the tyre with the rim and allows the compound to work uniformly from the first lap.

Are they suitable for club competition?

Yes. In fact, they are one of the favourites among club drivers precisely for their ability to offer differentiating grip without excessively rapid wear, making them suitable for long heats or intensive training sessions.
