Description Dunlop SP Sport W10
The long presence of the Dunlop SP Sport W10 summer tire on the domestic market has virtually no effect on its popularity among car owners. This is largely due to its technical characteristics, which were very high at the start of sales and are now more than relevant, especially when compared to tires from B-brands. This is due to the use of exclusively effective technologies in its design, many of which are still used by the British brand today.
Open tread design
Despite the fact that this model is designed for use primarily on highways, it is equipped with a tread with an open design, consisting of many separate elements. They are distinguished by very massive sizes and arrangement, which gives them multifunctionality and improves a whole range of operational properties of the tire.
In the process of movement, the tread blocks form five longitudinal ribs. In combination with their massive size, this improves the stability and stability of the tire's traction properties when moving at high speed. At the same time, the blocks are arranged in such a way that when they come into contact with the road, they form groups of five elements, providing a contact patch with very long traction edges. Due to the fact that they stretch across the entire tread, the tire demonstrates excellent efficiency, both when accelerating and decelerating. The massive size of the blocks provides stable traction in such driving modes.
Reliability in the rain
Another advantage of the open tread design of this tire is the developed drainage system. Between all the blocks, there are longitudinal and transverse grooves. Most of them are characterized by a significant internal volume, a curved shape, and a direction at a sharp angle and against the direction of movement. The combination of such design features significantly increases the throughput of the drainage grooves and, accordingly, the reliability of the traction properties in rainy conditions.
Main features of Dunlop SP Sport W10
- open tread design optimized to provide maximum traction and excellent handling at any speed;
- large contact patch sizes improve traction on dry roads;
- excellent efficiency, both when accelerating and braking, due to the arrangement of blocks, which forms many transverse groups with traction edges stretching across the entire tread.
