Technical description: The Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D is a winter tyre that offers a versatile performance. Drivers using these tyres can expect excellent performance on all types of winter roads, optimal driveability on icy surfaces, superb control and grip on wet roads and substantial fuel savings as the tyre's design ensures economical use.
One element that helps the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D perform so well on winter roads is its design combined with a very high quality rubber compound noted for its excellent grip. The model therefore drives well in any winter conditions. Very good traction on ice and snow is due to the innovative tread design and the huge number of gripping edges on the tread blocks. Thanks to the additional deep sipes in the central part of the tread, the tyre performs exceptionally well when accelerating, braking and climbing uphill.
The directional grooves making up the tyre's tread pattern perform effectively in rain or thawing conditions. Since the tyre is noted for its light construction and is made from an innovative compound, it uses less energy and therefore consumes less fuel, making it more environmentally friendly as it produces fewer CO2 emissions.
Information about the manufacturer: It all began in 1888 when John B. Dunlop developed the pneumatic tyre. A year later the company already had its first victory under its belt in bicycle racing.

Dunlop is currently owned by the American Goodyear group and the Japanese group Sumitomo.
