Dunlop SP Sport 5000
Symmetrical |
 |
The Dunlop SP Sport 5000 Ultra High Performance All-Season radial
was developed to meet the year-round needs of today's sports car,
coupe & sedan drivers by blending dry & wet road performance
with light snow & slush traction.
On the outside, two SP Sport 5000 tread designs were developed to
enhance the tires' comfort, traction & performance characteristics
on a by-size basis. Lower profile sizes feature an asymmetric tread
design while higher aspect ratio sizes feature a symmetric version.
The 55-series & lower profile sizes (except 215/50VR17 &
245/50WR17) feature an innovative asymmetric tread design in order
to help blend year-round traction & performance. Large
interconnected outer shoulder blocks & independent intermediate
tread blocks enhance dry road cornering & stability, while the
inner tread blocks with open shoulder grooves enhance wet traction
& reduce the risk of hydroplaning. The 60-series & higher
profile sizes feature a symmetric version of the tread design in
which the inner half of the tread design is virtually a mirror image
of the outer half. Large shoulder blocks separated by open shoulder
grooves & independent intermediate tread blocks are used to
balance dry cornering & handling with wet traction &
hydroplaning resistance. Full-face, cross-cut sipes are engineered
into the tread patterns of all sizes to provide more biting edges
for slush & snow traction, & an exclusive high performance
all-season tread compound (patent pending) is used to blend
traction, treadwear, & rolling resistance to meet a wide range of
driving & weather conditions.
Internally, the SP Sport 5000 tire's twin steel belts are reinforced
by Dunlop's Jointless B& (JLB) technology which uses spirally
wound nylon strips to provide long term integrity under high speed
conditions while it reduces weight & helps provide more uniform
ride quality. The SP Sport 5000 tires feature sidewalls which resist
lateral deflection to generate cornering force, while Max Flange
Shield (MFS) rim protector ribs help protect alloy wheels from curb
damage.
The SP Sport 5000 tires feature subtle black letter styling & are
available in 65-, 60-, 55-, 50-, 45-, & 40-series; H-, V-, &
W-speed rated sizes for 15" to 17" wheel diameters. Ultra High
Performance ... plus All-Season Versatility ... the SP Sport 5000. |
