A multi-talented tyre for mid class and luxury vehicles
The Dunlop SP Sport 01 is a high performance tyre that balances sporty handling and wet performance with driving comfort.
- Superb performance in various conditions
- High speed handling
- Enhanced grip on wet
- Quiet, comfortable ride
Description:
An impressive tyre, which meets the original equipment demands of many premium vehicle manufacturers. The Sport 01 promotes enhanced levels of braking and handling in wet and dry conditions and delivers low level noise and comfort A multitalented tire for mid class and luxury vehicles: Superb performance in various conditions, high speed handling, enhanced grip on wet plus quiet and comfort ride.
Technology (Features):
Reassuring road holding in both dry and very wet conditions with excellent aquaplaning resistance.
Improved fuel efficiency and reduced tread wear combined with more reassuring handling at high speed and a quieter ride.
Minimum in-car and pass-by noise, with nimble cornering due to closed outer shoulder.
Specific bead seat system. Strengthens the link between tyre and rim for a more precise driving experience. Like the grip between your hand and the steering wheel, the Specific Bead Seat System enhances control and conveys outstanding road feedback. Benefits Enhanced road feedback; greater stability and precision.
Jointless Belt (JLB). A Hybrid Overlay Technology that reduces circumferential deformations at high speeds.Benefits Superior high speed stability Jointless Belt (JLB) A Hybrid Overlay Technology that reduces circumferential deformations at high speeds.Benefits Superior high speed stability.
Maximum Flange Shield (MFS). A rim flange protection system. MFS employs a profile of rubber that runs around the circumference of the tyre above the wheel flange. This creates a protective buffer zone.* Benefits Protects expensive alloy wheels from kerbing.* Only available in select sizes.
Asymmetric Tread Design. Asymmetric tread design provides improved handling and aquaplaning resistance. The continuous center rib increases stability and precision. The asymmetric groove arrangement enhances grip on wet and dry surfaces.Benefits Improved performance on straight lines and around corners.
Consumer benefits:
- Rim protection that protects expensive alloys from kerbing
- More responsive steering
- Longer tread life
- High aquaplaning resistance
Enhanced grip on wet. The full silica compound ensures high levels of grip and braking power in wet and dry conditions. Special blocks in the tread rapidly disperse water in heavy rain conditions.
High speed handling. Experience smooth and stable motorway driving. The tyre keeps its shape at high speeds for precise cornering control. The asymmetric tread pattern increases stability on straight roads and around corners.
Quiet, comfortable ride. Enjoy a quieter ride thanks to a block design that cancels out irritating frequencies. The tread pattern is optimised for even wear, increasing comfort and prolonging tyre life.
Superb performance in various conditions. The SP Sport 01 unites three key performance properties in one innovative tyre. The asymmetric tread features three distinct zones that give you an ideal balance of sporty handling, high aquaplaning resistance and smooth driving comfort.
High speed and cornering stability. The SportMaxx GT maintains its shape at motorway speeds, which helps to enhance stability and wear resistance. Pressure is distributed across the contact patch, resulting in smoother transitions from straight to corner.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher.
(Source: European Commission Impact Assessment
* when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note:
Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).*

Please note:
Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A
The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016.
B
The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016.
C
The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
