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

Significantly better traction on wet and snowy surfaces. Much firmer grip in colder temperatures and on snow surfaces.

So far, no issues. Being a winter tyre, I haven't had the chance to use it a lot.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D 235/50R18 97V
These tyres are fantastic for driving in snow. They provide fantastic feedback through the steering and great confidence. They also provide great grip driving up and around corners. They stop great while driving downhill on snow or while driving on a level surface. They are on my Seat Exeo ST sport tdi, basically the same car as an Audi A4 Avant.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D 235/50R18 97V
The tyres do their job well in cold conditions. That said, it is hard to gauge their performance in heavy water and slush without having an alternative set to compare them to.
