Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D 205/55 R16 91H Run Flat

Features and Benefits: Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Comfortable performance; Rim protecting sidewalls; Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D DSST ROF TiresThe Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D DSST ROF is a performance and high performance, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire ensures excellent winter traction with the detai... moreled tread pattern and the durable compound. The directional tread's 3D and Active traction sipes work together to increase the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges, ensuring its ice and snow grip. Stronger winter compound elements improve the rubber flexibility even in freezing temperatures. The optimized groove pattern allows the tire to disperse water and slush from the footprint, effectively avoiding hydroplaning in wet conditions. The tread elements enable the tire to increase the controllability. The intermediate block and the shoulder's interlocking sipes work together with the specific bead seat system in order to enhance the surface contact. This combination promotes exceptional steering responsiveness and driving stability while the tires are in motion. Additionally, the Active traction and central block pulling sipes generate friction at the moment of braking, significantly shortening the braking distance. This combination guarantees the driver's better control over the vehicle. This model is a run flat tire. It utilizes the Dunlop Self-Supporting Technology which enables the tire's limited, temporary performance in case of air pressure loss. Once air pressure leaves the tire due to a puncture or some other damage, resulting in the tire's 50 mile 50 mph performance. Run flat tires should never be mounted on the same vehicle with regular tires, due to the difference between their weight. The stronger Jointless Band Technology keeps the ideal tire shape under the driving pressure. The construction does not allow the tire to maintain a close road contact at all times, absorbing the shock of driving. The tire significantly decreases the road vibrations felt by the passengers, resulting in a comfortable driving experience. The Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D DSST ROF also helps to protect the rims from damage. The Max Flange Shield guards the rim from accidental curb damage, promoting a safer performance. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
