Dunlop Sport Response – a premium summer tire designed for use on powerful passenger vehicles. The model stands out for its improved speed handling, efficient grip on dry and wet asphalt, providing high stability of transport during maneuvering.
The asymmetric tread pattern of the tire was developed using modern simulation systems. This made it possible to optimize it not only in terms of traction properties but also in terms of handling efficiency. Its wide contact edge is formed in the central part by means of three rib structures, each with lateral notches of different orientations. The combination of these elements significantly increased the directional stability and responsiveness to steering wheel turns, making the vehicle more maneuverable. The presence of stiffness bridges between the "ribs" improved resistance to deformation, which was reflected in the preservation of driving properties at high speeds.
The minimal number of tread elements had a positive impact on noise effects, which are almost inaudible even at high speeds. This made it possible to significantly improve driving comfort, making the tire suitable for long highway trips as well.
As a compound, the manufacturer used a special composition reinforced with a number of additives. These do not allow it to soften under the influence of high temperatures, maintaining a certain level of elasticity. This was reflected in the preservation of operational properties, keeping them at a high level. The additives in the rubber mixture also reduced tread wear, increasing the service life.
Key features of Dunlop Sport Response:
- a premium model for a wide range of vehicles, including those with powerful engines;
- high directional stability and excellent maneuverability at speed thanks to the pronounced rib structure;
- excellent grip on dry and wet asphalt, as well as protection against hydroplaning;
