The Dunlop SP Sport 5000 Asymmetrical summer tire is a high-performance model, perfectly suited for everyday use in passenger cars with improved dynamic properties. It stands out with its traction stability at any speed, sporty handling sharpness, and course stability when cornering, as well as its effectiveness when braking on wet surfaces, combined with wear resistance and acoustic comfort.
The tread pattern is designed in an asymmetric design, which is distinguished by the division into several functional zones separated from each other by a wide longitudinal rib running exactly along its middle. This element provides course stability and handling comfort when moving at high speeds, while reducing wear and rolling resistance. The outer side of the tread, representing one of the functional zones, is characterized by the presence of massive composite blocks of A-shape. They increase stability and handling comfort when passing high-speed turns, preventing uneven wear at the same time. The elongated curved edges formed by them provide high braking intensity on wet surfaces. The inner side of the tread contains enlarged grooves directed against the direction of movement. These elements increase traction properties, reducing the risk of aquaplaning to a minimum. It's also worth noting the presence of numerous lamellas with wavy edges. They also increase the efficiency of the tread pattern on a wet surface.
Key features of the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 Asymmetrical:
- a large number of wide grooves directed against the direction of movement provides high resistance of the tire to hydroplaning;
- massive A-shaped blocks on the outer side of the pattern increase traction stability and handling accuracy when passing high-speed turns, reducing the level of abrasive impact on the tread;
- the tread profile with variable curvature expands the contact patch, giving it a shape close to an ellipse, which improves traction stability and handling on dry surfaces;
- inclined lamellas with wavy edges increase traction and braking characteristics on a wet surface
