The Dunlop SP Winter Sport M2 winter tire was created by the world-renowned British manufacturer specifically for car enthusiasts who prefer a sporty driving style. This tire is one of the global models of the British concern and is released for various markets in more than fifty different sizes with mounting sizes from 13 to 18 inches. Such a variety of sizes allows this tire to be used not only on passenger cars but also on SUVs and crossovers. At the same time, many sizes have a speed index V, which indicates the high technical characteristics of this model.
The tire is equipped with a tread with a V-shaped symmetric directional pattern, featuring a non-trivial design. Thanks to the very wide and deep drainage grooves, the tread of the Dunlop SP Winter Sport M2 tire is divided into three functional zones - two shoulder zones and a very wide longitudinal rib, located in the center of the tread. At the same time, the central part of the tread essentially represents three rows of separate blocks. The tread blocks located on the edge have a trapezoidal shape, and in the center - a quadrangular shape, resembling a rhombus. The calculated shape and location of the blocks, designed with the help of computer simulation, provide excellent grip on various types of surfaces, as well as excellent directional stability and braking efficiency, especially on slippery surfaces.
To provide more reliable grip on icy surfaces, special S-shaped lamellas are located on the surface of each tread element. These lamellas form an additional huge number of sharp edges that easily pierce the water film that forms when driving on ice.
