The Dunlop SP Sport Le Mans 703 tire model appeared in 2010, replacing its predecessors — the popular LM 701 and LM 702 models of the past. The new model is a sports summer tire for powerful high-speed vehicles. It offers excellent grip on any surface with an incredible level of safety and pleasant comfort while driving. The latest technologies have made the new product of the British company even more indispensable for car owners.
It is worth noting the work of Dunlop engineers who have done a huge job in developing the Dunlop LM 703. The tire used the Digital Rolling Simulation 2 technology, which allowed to obtain the tire's characteristics even at the design stage, thanks to popular computer simulators. Thus, the following things were achieved: the tire, when performing turns, is able to change the contact patch, increasing and decreasing it depending on the situation, and also specially optimized tread blocks allowed to significantly reduce the noise level emitted by the tire while driving.
The special rubber compound of the tire, called sound absorbing pad and made of lightweight synthetic material, allowed the tire to also absorb external noises. It is located in the inner structure of the tread.
The tread design of the Dunlop LM703 tire is non-directional. Wide drainage grooves allow effective handling of water that appears under the contact patch. The risk of aquaplaning has been minimized.
The powerful sidewalls of the tire provide stable handling in any conditions, and the rigid central rib contributes to the instantaneous response of the tire and protects it from deformations.
Despite the large number of advantages, this tire also has its drawbacks. First of all, it is its wear resistance. The tire wears out very quickly, so the consultants of Mosavtoshina do not recommend using this model when driving off-road.
