Summer passenger tire Dunlop SP Sport 01 is addressed to drivers who prefer an aggressive driving style. At the same time, the make and model of the car practically do not matter, since this model is produced in an extremely wide range of standard sizes with a diameter from 14 to 21 inches.
Especially for this tire, the company's specialists have developed a completely new asymmetric tread pattern called Tri-AreaTread. As the name suggests, the tread pattern consists of three functional zones, each of which is designed to solve a specific task. This design solution is designed to provide an optimal balance of performance when driving in various road conditions.
The central part of the tread of the Dunlop SP Sport 01 is occupied by four longitudinal ribs, which are characterized by a solid, and therefore rigid structure. As a result, the tire exhibits exceptional driving stability even at very high speeds.
The optimized groove area helps to provide multi-surface grip for all-season traction, while the circumferential rain groove enhances traction in wet weather. Rigid tread blocks enable dry handling performance and help provide excellent steering and Controlled dual-speed noise reduction helps provide quiet performance. Combined tire technology (CTT™) provides lighter rim weight and a rounder cavity shape to help provide smoother driving. Dunlop® Self-supporting Technology (DSST) ® Using the patented side wing structure, allowing continuous driving for 50 miles in the case of a puncture. Under normal conditions, 50 mph.
DSST technology allows the tire to keep running even after a loss of pressure, thanks to the special reinforcing elements of the sidewalls. If the DSST tire loses pressure, the driver may not feel it and continue driving at high speed and longer distances, which could damage the tires. To prevent this situation, a special tire pressure monitoring system must be installed on the wheels. Pressure sensors warn the driver of a loss of pressure and reduce the speed. This monitoring system can be installed as original equipment on a new car or can be equipped additionally.
Dunlop SP Sport 01 car tires are the ideal choice for those drivers who are passionate about fast and dynamic driving on powerful sports cars. This summer tire was specially designed for vehicles with high power and speed performance. The tread of the working surface of the Dunlop SP Sport 01 tire is conditionally divided into three functional zones, each of which is responsible for certain functional and operational properties of automobile rubber, which provides excellent controllability and stability of the car on various types of road surfaces.
The shoulder area of the tread, located on its inner side, mainly performs a drainage function, providing high resistance to aquaplaning. It is this part of the tread that is equipped with the so-called "hydraulic blades", i.e. a system of drainage channels, the shape of which resembles blades. Their curved shape prevents the formation of turbulence in water flows, which increases the speed of its passage through these channels.
The outer side of the tread pattern consists of separate blocks. Their sharp edges help improve braking performance, especially on slippery roads.
Another innovation is an additional layer of the frame made of nylon fibers, wound using seamless technology. This layer provides, due to the stability of the tire shape, a more even distribution of external pressure over the contact patch, which not only allowed to achieve more confident behavior at high speeds but also effectively prevents the occurrence of uneven wear.
The modern system of drainage grooves in a directional arrangement increases the grip of the car wheels on wet asphalt due to better drainage of excess water from under the contact patch, minimizing the likelihood of a hydroplaning effect. The special shape of the tread blocks and the rounded grooves are designed to reduce the level of noise emitted by the wheels, which increases the comfort inside the car while driving.
Main features of the Dunlop SP Sport 01 tire
- Unique Tri-AreaTread tread provides the perfect balance of performance regardless of road conditions;
- Exceptional resistance to aquaplaning, thanks to the special shape of the drainage channels in the shoulder area of the tread;
- Four rigid longitudinal ribs, due to which the tire exhibits exceptional driving stability even at very high speeds.
The asymmetric tread design makes it possible to divide the tread into three zones following three main requirements: speed, safety, and quietness. surface and road conditions, making it ideal for high-end mid-range vehicles as well as luxury sedans.
- Longitudinal-lateral tread pattern: for sports enthusiasts. Two wide central longitudinal ribs that run along the entire circumference of the tire ensure efficient lateral force transfer. And grooves and grooves help reduce noise. The excellent driving stability and rolling comfort of the SP SPORT 01 tires ensure sporty driving dynamics.
- Parallelogram blocks: for those who love quiet driving. The closed outer shoulder design of the tire and the new asymmetrical arrangement of the new SP SPORT 01 blocks ensures that high-frequency noise is completely absent from irritating.
- Hydro blades: increased safety. The SP SPORT 01 is a new milestone in driving safety. The tread pattern, known as "hydraulic blades", was recently developed and is a truly revolutionary innovation. They repel water like a turbine but do not create a spinning effect. This ensures the highest level of safety at all speeds by preventing aquaplaning from occurring.
- Seamless Nylon Coating: Prevents tire expansion when traveling at high speeds and provides even traction across the entire width of the tire at all speeds.
