Product description & features

The SP Sport 01 from Dunlop has a 3-zone tread design with an emphasis on performance and driving comfort. The asymmetric design helps decrease road noise. The Silica-Plus compound helps maintain wet surface grip. Dunlop developed Sport 01's inner tread to assist in clearing water from the tread surface. The outer tread blocks are firmness reinforced to assist in cornering. Dunlop uses their Jointless Band Technology to place a continuous layer of tread support to help the Sport 01 retain its shape at high speed. Sport 01’s side walls are supported and reinforced where Dunlop's Self-Supporting Technology allows for a loss in air pressure. Tyres.co.uk sells the Dunlop SP Sport 01 including runflat styles.

Highlights

  • 3-zone asymmetric tread
  • Silica-Plus wet grip compound
  • Reinforced outer tread blocks
  • Run-flat sidewall support

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Sport 01 225/50R17 98Y XL
Great selection. Ever since I got these tyres fitted, the rattling sound from the transmission at low speeds is gone. I'm really pleased that I went with BMW approved tyres. It is a much smoother ride now and the worries about the rattling transmission noise are gone. Thank you.

The roads handle well. The only downside is the noise from the motorway, but I guess that's the con you pay for the grip.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Sport 01 225/50R17 98Y XL
Cooper S - I think these are standard. They are more expensive than normal tyres but were significantly cheaper than the typical price for run flats.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Sport 01 225/50R17 98Y XL
When fitted to a Cooper S, they provide excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions and are noticeably quieter and provide a smoother ride than some run-flat tyres.

I had my tyres fitted at a local garage in Bermondsey. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The lady at the front desk kept me updated on the progression and told me when the car was ready. I will certainly recommend others to this establishment.
