    Car tyre:

    Designed for cars, rather than vans, 4x4s or commercial vehicles.

    A stronger sidewall lets this tyre carry more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. Marked XL on the sidewall.

  • Tick Icon Winter
    Winter tyres:

    Designed for temperatures below 7°C. Summer tyre rubber hardens in the cold and loses grip, while a winter compound stays soft and holds the road in cold, wet and snowy conditions.

Product description & features

The Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D is a winter tyre with a design featuring a three-zone system. This design addresses different winter surface concerns, whether they be snowy, wet, or dry. The centre zone incorporates Dunlop’s 3D Sipe System with closely spaced slits that behave as biting edges and assist with braking and steering. A slush and water clearing directional pattern design is coupled with a silca-Plus Compound that retains flexibility down to about 7 °C.

In addition, Dunlop offers run-flat and self-supporting tyres to assist vehicles after a loss of tyre pressure. The SP Winter Sport 4D replaced the 3D Sport Winter. The SP Winter Sport 4D incorporates a revised winter tread pattern. Tyres.co.uk offers the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D and the models SP Winter Sport 4D and XL.

Highlights

  • Three-zone winter tread design
  • Slush and water clearing pattern
  • Run-flat and self-supporting versions

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D 215/40R17 87V XL
Every autumn, I change my car tyres to winter ones as I live in the Highlands. The grip is remarkable on wet roads, and no waiting for snow is required (though to be honest, there hasn't been much this winter).
