Dunlop SP Sport 01

Dunlop SP Sport 01 is a high performance passenger tyre designed for drivers of mid-class and luxury vehicles who want a balanced combination of sporty handling, wet grip and quiet driving. Its asymmetric tread is divided into three functional areas, using a Longitudinal Rail System, Hydro-Paddles and Parallelogram Block Design to address sport, safety and silence. The pattern supports high-speed handling and steering response, while the Hydro-Paddle design helps disperse water from the contact area for confident wet-road performance. Dunlop also developed the SP Sport 01 with a focus on reducing road noise and maintaining a comfortable ride, making it suitable for everyday driving as well as more responsive motorway and cornering performance.

Best for:

  • High-performance road driving
  • Mid-class and luxury passenger vehicles

Not intended for: Off-road driving or drivers seeking a dedicated winter tyre.
