Product description & features

The Dunlop SP Winter Response 2 is a winter tyre designed for cars that provides good traction for snow and ice and features a directional tread design that helps remove water and slush from the road. It has a series of tightly grouped blocks in the middle of the tread that have snow and ice cutting slits, which help provide traction for ice and snow. The design and composition of the SP Winter Response 2 keep the tyre flexible during very low temperatures.

Dunlop’s angled cuts are designed to help improve traction and grip for lateral movements in snow and ice. The design also uses a channel system to quickly move water and slush through the tread design and out of the tyre. The SP Winter Response 2 is the successor to the original SP Winter Response and is a part of Dunlop’s passenger car winter range. At Tyres.co.uk, we sell Dunlop SP Winter Response 2 Winter Tyres.

  • Winter tyre for cars

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Winter Response 2 165/65R15 81T
I replaced the original Continental Cross Contact Winter tyres on my 2016 Fiat Panda Twin Air Trekking because they were hard to find. I chose these Dunlop tyres instead, they have nearly identical specs, are cheaper, and look the same. I have driven about 2000 miles since mid September on many different types of roads and weather, but no snow and ice. I have been very satisfied with the tyres, they are smooth and quiet. They provide me with stable and precise steering. I will be getting a set for the back soon.

I've removed the winter tyres from the car and changed them with ones that I bought again from Tyres.co.uk, prepared for next winter.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Winter Response 2 165/65R15 81T
I will be using these tyres as winter tyres which means they will not go on the car until November. Last year, I purchased the same two tyres and they seemed to do the job well.

Excellent on ice and snow, but in dry corners, take it easy. However, they are reliable in rain.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Winter Response 2 165/65R15 81T
I replaced my used Michelin Alpin 4 tyres which lasted me six years worth of four month winters with additional wheel sets, with these "new" Dunlops which were meant to be rated better. To my surprise, their grip is weak for a winter tyre, with my front wheels spinning easily regardless of whether it is wet or dry. When braking, ABS kicks in too often. I'm worried they might be worse in snow. These might perform worse than all season tyres. I do not recommend these and I regret not keeping the Michelin Alpin 4s on my winter front tyres.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Winter Response 2 165/65R15 81T
I bought these tyres primarily for winter use and to handle snow. They performed fantastically with no issues with grip in several inches of fresh snow. They performed excellently even on icy surfaces.
