  • Tick Icon Winter
    Winter tyres:

Product description & features

Dunlop's SP WinterSport 5 is a passenger car tyre designed for snow and slush adhesion at low temperatures. Its tread design is more blocky than the SP Winter Sport 4D's which increases the number of snow biting edges. Opening slits run through the blocks to grip snow and transport it to the centre of the tread where the slush is managed by deep rimmed grooves that run the length of the tread. Dunlop's lightweight design further improves efficiency by lowering rolling resistance.

The SP Winter Sport 4D is the direct predecessor of the SP Winter Sport 5 and will be replaced by the SP Winter Sport 5 in Dunlop's winter collection. The SP Winter Sport 5 also carries the 3PMSF and M+S designation on the side of the tyre. Dunlop also produces a variant for SUV fitments called the Winter Sport 5 SUV. Tyres.co.uk offers the Dunlop SP WinterSport 5.

Highlights

  • Snow and slush grip
  • Blocky tread with snow edges
  • Deep grooves for slush
  • Three-peak snowflake marking

Tyre review for Dunlop SP WinterSport 5 215/55R17 98V XL
Amazing grip on dry surfaces and also makes good water channeling. Have not tried them in the snow yet.

Up to this point, they are doing well. While I haven't tested them on snow or thick ice, there is a noticeable improvement in rainy conditions.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP WinterSport 5 215/55R17 98V XL
Not bad grip in cold weather even in the snow, however, they are not as efficient as summer tyres on long motorway journeys, which can lead to an increase of 10 mpg being used. They also feel different to summer tyres, not worse, just different.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP WinterSport 5 215/55R17 98V XL
I had these fitted to my T6 in November and so far they are doing well. They hold the road well even in poor weather and even managed to tackle the little bit of snow we have had this season (only one day so far). They do tend to be a bit noisy when driving on dry roads but that's to be expected with winter tyres. No signs of wear so far and they have definitely been worth the money.
