Product description & features

The Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D features a directional 'V' shaped tread pattern, and is built to preserve winter steering response on wet, slushy and snowy roads. At the centre of the tread, Dunlop's 4D Sipe System places slits which, as the tyre rotates, form small blocks that slush and snow can sift into to provide and lock braking and cornering support. In addition, edge grooves carry slush and water away as the winter compound that makes the tyre remains flexible through the cold, allowing the rubber to stay in contact with the road.

Some of the tyre's variants feature Dunlop's RunOnFlat construction, which provide loss of pressure support for winter performance on compatible vehicles. The Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D was also the predecessor to the Dunlop Winter Sport 5. Tyres.co.uk stocks the RunOnFlat variants of the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D.

Highlights

  • Directional V-shaped tread pattern
  • 4D Sipe System slits
  • Edge grooves clear slush and water
  • RunOnFlat versions available

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D 225/55R16 95H
Up until now things are good, albeit with a bit more noise from the road and with slightly worse fuel efficiency relative to my summer Bridgestones. This is to be expected, but I anticipate better performance on snow and ice.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D 225/55R16 95H
Up to this point, they have done a great job. They manage well in the wet. With the weather being quite mild this year, I have not had the chance to see how they perform on ice and snow therefore I have given them a rating of 4.
