OVERVIEW: The Dunlop SP Sport 5000 is a high performance all season tire manufactured for performance and crossover vehicles.The specially designed asymmetric tread ensures excellent all weather traction. The tire has great road gripping ability in dry, wet and even in winter weather. The better road grip guarantees a safer driving experience all year round. The tread design's independent inner tread blocks with the open shoulder grooves boost the wet weather traction and actively prevent hydroplaning.Even at high speeds, the tire can be controlled with ease. The internal structure features Dunlop's Jointless Band Technology that is a spirally wrapped nylon cord that reinforces the tires construction. In this manner, the tire does not deform under the driving pressure affecting it and becomes easier to handle. The high performance tread design's maintained road contact improves the steering responsiveness and accuracy. As a result, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's instructions, enhancing its controllability and handling.The tire's optimized tire shape and special tread design also boosts its cornering and maneuvering ability and power. The tread design's large, stable, interconnected shoulder tread blocks increase the road gripping ability during cornering situations by providing additional biting edges. The better cornering and maneuvering upgrades the driving safety and the model's controllability.The SP Sport 5000 was manufactured with the Max Flange Shield technology that protects the rims. The wheels are guarded from accidental curb damage by the tire's sidewalls, which prevent costly wheel changes. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
