With the Dunlop SP Sport 01, the drivers can take advantage of an evolutionary leap into the tire technology: mass Dunlop summer tires production is directed towards cars from the middle class up to cars from the luxury class on asymmetrical up to direction bound profiles.
After designing three different profiles of the bearing surface of these tires, named the three zones design, the developers obtained an improvement in 3 typical Dunlop tyre characteristics : sportiveness, safety and a low unreeling noise. Because of this the new Dunlop SP Sport 01 will also come as the 3S - for Sport, Safety and Silence- starting from July 2002. That is why the Dunlop SP Sport 01 is more comfort oriented, the balanced alternative to the clearly sports oriented, direction bound, ultra high performance tyre Dunlop SP sport 9000.
Specific bead seat system. Strengthens the link between tire and rim for a more precise driving experience. Like the grip between your hand and the steering wheel, the Specific Bead Seat System enhances control and conveys outstanding road feedback.Benefits Enhanced road feedback; greater stability and precision.
RunOnFlat Dunlop Self Supporting Technology (DSST). Dunlop RunOnFlat Technology allows for continued driving after a puncture or blowout for up to 80km. RunOnFlat tires use reinforced sidewalls, which enable the tire to maintain mobility after a complete loss of air pressure.Safety Notice Dunlop RunOnFlat tires should only be mounted on cars that are designed for run flat tires and equipped with a fully operating tire pressure warning device, such as Dunlop WARNAIR. A maximum distance of 80km/50 miles and maximum speed of 80 kmh/50 mph should not be exceeded. Please refer to your car’s manual as manufacturers’ advice for a particular vehicle may differ.
Jointless Belt (JLB). A Hybrid Overlay Technology that reduces circumferential deformations at high speeds.Benefits Superior high speed stability; smooth and even wear.
Maximum Flange Shield (MFS). A rim flange protection system. MFS employs a profile of rubber that runs around the circumference of the tire above the wheel flange. This creates a protective buffer zone.* Benefits Protects expensive alloy wheels from kerbing.* Only available in select sizes
Asymmetric Tread Design. Asymmetric tread design provides improved handling and aquaplaning resistance. The continuous center rib increases stability and precision. The asymmetric groove arrangement enhances grip on wet and dry surfaces.Benefits Improved performance on straight lines and around corners; increased resistance to aquaplaning.
