The WinterSport 3D is optimised to handle every kind of winter condition, thanks to three different sipes positioned on specific parts of the tyre.
The SP WinterSport 3D benefits from Dunlop Touch Technology to give you a better feel for the road – crucial for establishing control and handling. A new interlocking 3D sipe creates a tight shoulder area, which improves handling and stability on dry roads.
The special silica compound stays flexible at low temperatures to give you high levels of grip on wet and dry roads. Pressure is distributed evenly across a wide contact patch, helping to maintain road adherence.
Directional grooves create rapid and turbulence free water drainage, increasing aquaplaning resistance.
Drive with Confidence
A motorsports heritage that drives every innovation. A passion for advancing the driving experience.
Dunlop Self Supporting Technology (DSST)
Dunlop RunOnFlat Technology allows for continued driving after a puncture or blowout for up to 80km. RunOnFlat tyres use reinforced sidewalls, which enable the tyre to maintain mobility after a complete loss of air pressure.
Safety Notice
Dunlop RunOnFlat tyres should only be mounted on cars that are designed for run flat tyres and equipped with a fully operating tyre 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.
A motorsport derived tread compound that delivers high levels of grip, particularly on wet roads and in low temperatures.
Benefits
Superb braking and acceleration performance; high grip in wet and cold-weather conditions; low wear and tear.
A Hybrid Overlay Technology that reduces circumferential deformations at high speeds.
Benefits
Superior high speed stability; smooth and even wear.
A rim flange protection system. MFS employs a profile of rubber that runs around the circumference of the tyre above the wheel flange. This creates a protective buffer zone.
Benefits
Protects expensive alloy wheels from kerbing.
Strengthens the link between tyre 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.
MRT designs employ ten different radii and are therefore more precise. This results in highly effective pressure deployment on the road contact patch. The effect is smoother transitions from straight to corner, leading to more precise and progressive reactions.
Benefits
Significantly better control over the evolution of the footprint in all driving conditions; responsive wet and dry handling; increased cornering control.
