When developing the summer tire Dunlop SP LT30, the main focus was on ensuring maximum durability and fuel efficiency. This is not surprising if we consider that this model is designed for small-tonnage commercial equipment, which is mainly operated in urban conditions. It is for this reason that this model has sidewalls with a design that is protected against aggressive mechanical impact.
Reduced rolling resistance
This model demonstrates excellent fuel efficiency due to several of its design features. First and foremost, it is the design of the tread pattern, which consists of four very wide longitudinal ribs of a continuous structure, which significantly reduces rolling resistance. Another factor that contributes to the low fuel consumption of this tire is the multi-layered breaker made of steel cord. Located directly under the tread, this component gives it increased stiffness and resistance to deformation. In addition to reducing rolling resistance, this significantly reduces the likelihood of uneven wear.
Durability
In addition to the reinforced breaker, the tire's durability is provided by a rigid design and equal-sized tread ribs. Such a design significantly optimizes the distribution of external pressure over the contact patch, which has a positive effect on the lifespan of the tread. In this regard, it is worth noting the physico-chemical properties of the rubber compound. Due to the presence of special components in its composition, increased resistance to abrasive wear is ensured.
Key features of the Dunlop SP LT 30 tire
- excellent fuel efficiency due to the optimized tread pattern design and reinforced carcass construction with a steel cord breaker;
- tread durability is ensured by a rigid design and equal-sized tread ribs, as well as a wear-resistant rubber compound;
- increased reliability due to the two-layer construction of the sidewalls, the upper layer of which is made of a compound resistant to mechanical impact.
