SP Sport 600

The SP Sport 600 is an Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, the third generation of the rally-bred supercar powered by a 305-horsepower, 2.5-liter Subaru boxer engine. Like all summer tires, the SP Sport 600 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The SP Sport 600 features a high-grip, silica-reinforced tread compound molded into an asymmetric tread pattern featuring a rounded profile to combine ride comfort, handling and traction. Large outboard shoulder and continuous center ribs enhance initial responsiveness and cornering stability. Notched inboard intermediate and shoulder ribs are combined with three circumferential grooves to help resist hydroplaning. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by Dunlop's JointLess Band (JLB) spirally wrapped nylon to blend high-speed durability with uniform ride quality.

SP Sport Maxx GT

The SP Sport Maxx GT is Dunlop's Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of pure sports cars, powerful coupes and high performance sedans. SP Sport Maxx GT tires are designed to offer outstanding driver feedback and responsive handling, but like all summer tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The SP Sport Maxx GT uses a highly refined carbon black tread compound technology from Dunlop Motorsport molded into an asymmetric tread design featuring firm tread blocks and a continuous middle rib. These features work together to keep more of the tire on more of the road more of the time, maintaining constant road contact to impart more responsive handling and high-speed stability. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by Dunlop’s Hybrid Jointless Band (JLB) spirally wrapped Aramid to provide high-speed durability while minimizing weight and reducing temporary flatspotting. The tires feature a rayon cord casing and unique bead to enhance high-speed capability and ride quality.

Signature

The Signature is Dunlop's Standard Touring All-Season tire developed to meet the needs of the drivers of coupes, sedans, vans and crossover vehicles. Signature tires are designed to combine touring ride comfort with a performance attitude by providing the responsive handling and confident cornering that enhances the connection between the driver and the road, along with the appropriate year-round traction, even in light snow.

Signature tires feature an all-season tread compound molded into a symmetric design with circumferential grooves and lateral Evaqua Grooves to efficiently pump water out from under the footprint blending hydroplaning resistance with dry road handling and noise comfort. While all tires include twin steel belts, H- and V-speed rated sizes are also reinforced with Dunlop's JointLess Band (JLB) Technology that helps maintain the tires' shape at highway speeds enhancing handling and treadwear while eliminating unwanted vibration. A Dimensionally Stable Polyester body (a special manufacturing process to pre-cure and pre-stretch the ply cords) delivers uniformity and a smooth ride.

SP 60

The SP 60 is Dunlop's All-Season passenger tire developed for imported and domestic coupes, sedans and minivans using a balanced blend of leading technologies and innovative design. The SP 60 is designed to deliver a comfortable driving experience while providing predictable handling, a smooth ride, long wear and year-round traction, even in light snow.

On the outside, the SP 60 molds its long-wearing, all-season tread compound into a web-like block and groove tread pattern resulting in siped, independent tread blocks and lateral tread grooves to provide handling, traction and hydroplaning resistance. Internally, the SP 60 features wide, high-density steel belts on top of Dunlop's Dimensionally Stable Polyester (DSP) that uses a special manufacturing process that pre-stretches and pre-cures the polyester ply cords to produce a stronger cord that maintains tire uniformity for a smooth, comfortable ride.

Depending on tire size, Dunlop SP 60 tires feature white stripe or black sidewall styling.

SP Sport 8000

The SP Sport 8000 is ideal for high performance sports cars and sporty coupes. Like all summer tires, it is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Its directional tread pattern offers all-out performance and handling, plus quiet ride comfort. To maximize wet handling confidence and resist hydroplaning the SP Sport 8000's wide circumferential grooves have been designed with nearly vertical ""walls"". This square shape maintains the tires outstanding wet road performance right up to the final stages of treadwear. To provide exceptional dry steering stability, the tread pattern has extremely rigid blocks. These rigid blocks greatly reduce tread squirm and distortion, offering a high degree of control during hard cornering. Minimizing irregular treadwear is also an important part of the design of the SP Sport 8000. A common problem with wide, low profile tires is uneven wear in the center of the tread. This problem is caused by unnecessary distortion of the tire's center and uneven contact pressure. The SP Sport 8000 features a tread surface formed around three continuous radii, so even contact pressure is obtained when the tread is fully loaded. Each size has been individually tuned for long, even treadwear.

Like all summer tires, the SP Sport FM901 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

On the outside, the SP Sport FM901's wide tread features large interlocking tread blocks that are aligned in a directional pattern to enhance dry traction and handling, increase wet traction and resist hydroplaning. Dunlop's ""Chaos"" tread block arrangement varies the size and shape of the tread blocks to help break up repetitive patterns and minimize noise levels. On the inside, the SP Sport FM901 features two steel belts reinforced by a spirally-wrapped JointLess Band (JLB) of nylon to support the tread area for high-speed durability and predictable handling while minimizing weight and improving ride uniformity. Additionally, a single strand of steel that is spirally-wound forms beads that are rounder for a better fit to the wheel and to further enhance handling and ride quality

SP Sport 5000 M

Original Equipment (OE) All-Season tires are the prevalent tire choice for vehicles sold in the United States. Developed for use on new cars and light trucks, these tires provide a versatile blend of ride quality, noise comfort, treadwear, handling and year-round traction, even in light snow.

While Original Equipment All-Season tires are often repurchased as direct replacements for pairs and sets of worn out Original Equipment tires, they can also be used on other vehicles in axle pairs or sets of four if they match the needed tire size, load range and speed rating specifications, as well as the anticipated driving conditions.

While we attempt to provide a picture of as many of these tires as possible, the pictures used to represent these tires cannot be guaranteed to be an exact depiction of each tire's appearance because of the variety of subtle differences in tread designs and sidewall styling.

Grandtrek AT20

The Grandtrek AT20 is Dunlop's Highway All-Season light truck tire that was developed for the drivers of pickups and sport utility vehicles. The Grandtrek AT20 was designed to deliver low noise, a comfortable ride, and year-round traction, even in light snow.

The numerous Grandtrek AT20 sizes developed for the aftermarket are branded with UTQG Ratings of 500 A B and have been designed to provide a balance of traits appropriate for today's lavish pickups and luxury sport utility vehicles, while the few Original Equipment Grandtrek AT20 tires developed several years ago are branded with UTQG Ratings of 300 B B and appear to place emphasis on low rolling resistance to increase the vehicle's fuel economy above poor weather traction and treadwear.

On the outside, the aftermarket tires feature Dunlop's advanced all-season compound molded into a tread design that combines independent intermediate and shoulder blocks with a continuous center rib to enhance dry traction and treadwear. Then crosscut sipes, wide circumferential grooves and deep lateral grooves provide the biting edges needed to enhance poor weather traction. On the inside, twin steel belts stabilize the tread while a Dimensionally Stable Polyester cord body and bead design promote ride comfort, handling and treadwear.
