Hi everyone,
I’m trying to identify which 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans LMGT3 car this race-used Goodyear tire came from.
Here’s what I know:
Goodyear specification code: GT05B2
Size: 310/710 R18 (rear tire)
White handwritten marking: The first character looks like it might be a 7, but it’s partially worn away so I’m really not sure. The second character looks like a 4 to me. Overall it appears to read something like ?4-R15 (possibly 74-R15, but I’m not confident). I’m fairly certain the last part is R15, not R25.
From what I’ve been able to determine:
GT05B2 appears to be an LMGT3 specification tire.
I’ve also spent some time looking through photos of the #74 Kessel Racing Ferrari from Le Mans since that’s one of the possibilities, but I haven’t been able to find any clear side-on photos of the tires that show the handwritten markings well enough to compare.
A couple of questions for anyone with WEC, Le Mans, or Goodyear experience:
Does this style of handwritten marking look familiar to a particular LMGT3 team?
Has anyone seen similar markings on race-used Goodyear tires from Le Mans?
I’d really appreciate any insight. I’m hoping to identify which LMGT3 entry this tire came from. Thanks!
