The compound
WinmaX W7.
The top of the W-series and the highest friction WinmaX publish. It is a professional circuit and rally compound with a 100°C floor and an 850°C ceiling — genuinely more pad than most club-level cars can use, and only worth the money if you are running out of ceiling on W5 or W6.5.
Operating range100–850°C
Friction µ0.48–0.53

These are the compounds we stock for the Mazda RX8 front whose published friction and operating temperature come closest to WinmaX W7. They are a starting point for switching brands — not a guarantee of identical feel, because each manufacturer measures friction on their own equipment.
