Dunlop SP Sport 01. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; High speed durability; Reduced road vibration levels; Fuel efficient drive; Hydroplaning resistance; . OVERVIEW: The Dunlop SP Sport 01 is a high performance summer tire manufactured for performance and passenger vehicles.The model provides excellent summer weather traction and road gripping ability. The special silica compound and the asymmetric Tri-Area-Tread design boosts the safety, comfort and the high speed performance to ensure a first-rate summer weather performance. The tire is not meant to be used in winter weather as the tire compound loses its great road gripping capability in colder temperatures. The tread pattern's deep circumferential and wave grooves effectively avoid hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire footprint. The maintained road contact and excellent hydroplaning resistance guarantee a safer driving experience in all summer conditions.The tire promotes superb handling and controllability. The aramid reinforced bead structure increases the tire's steering responsiveness by maintaining constant road contact. The aramid reinforcement of the bead lowers the sidewall stiffness which allows the tire to improve its response to the driver's steering instructions and it guarantees accuracy. The internal structure also features twin steel belts spirally wrapped with nylon thanks to the Jointless Band Technology. This construction maintains the tire's optimal shape under the high speed driving pressure, and it prevents deformation. The optimized tire shape allows the model to perform to its utmost capability at all times.The model is extremely fuel efficient. The silica tire compound succeeds in lowering the fuel consumption and the CO2 emissions of the vehicle. This is achieved as the silica compound and the lightweight tire construction decrease the tire's rolling resistance, which is a pressure affecting the tire that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to maintain the tire's motion. The reduced rolling resistance also extends the tire life as it eases the driving pressure off the tire. It slows the tread wear rate down significantly, increasing the tread life and the tire's usability. The fuel efficient drive and the longer lasting tread life make the tire environmentally friendly and budget conscious.The SP Sport 01 guarantees a comfortable driving experience. The internal structure's reinforced twin steel belts and rayon cord reinforcement maintain constant road contact and allow the tire to closely follow the road surface. This decreases the road vibrations, providing a comfortable and enjoyable summer driving experience. 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.
