Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D: Unleash Winter Performance
Exceptional Winter Grip and Handling
Experience unparalleled control with the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D, a high-performance tire engineered to tackle the three dimensions of winter. Whether you're driving on icy, snowy, or wet roads, this tire ensures top-notch grip and handling, allowing you to respond swiftly to all weather conditions.
Outstanding Performance in All Weather Conditions
The SP Winter Sport 3D excels in both dry and wet conditions, thanks to its advanced silica tread compound that remains flexible even at low temperatures. This flexibility enhances grip on both wet and dry surfaces, distributing pressure evenly across the tire's contact area for improved traction.
Enhanced Dry Handling
Equipped with Dunlop Touch Technology, this tire offers superior road feedback, essential for precise control and handling. The innovative 3D sipes interlock to reinforce the shoulder area, boosting stability and handling on dry roads.
Optimized Rim Connection
A specialized system enhances the fit between the tire and rim, ensuring precise steering control and improved road feedback. This feature is crucial for safe and confident handling, providing stability and precision in every maneuver.
Silica-Plus Tread Compound
Developed for motorsport, the Silica-Plus compound delivers exceptional grip in wet and cold conditions, offering first-class braking and acceleration performance with minimal wear.
Jointless Belt (JLB) Technology
The hybrid overlay technology minimizes tire deformation at high speeds, ensuring superior stability, smoothness, and even wear.
Maximum Flange Shield (MFS)
Protect your valuable alloy wheels with the MFS system, which includes a rubber profile encircling the tire, creating a protective buffer zone against curb damage.
Multi-Sipe System
Winter driving conditions can change rapidly, from dry and cold to snow or sleet. The Dunlop Multi-Sipe System is designed to meet these challenges with different sipe types for varying winter road conditions, ensuring consistent performance across diverse scenarios.
Multi Radius Tread (MRT) Design
Featuring ten different radii, the MRT design ensures effective pressure distribution across the tire's contact patch, resulting in smoother transitions from straight to cornering and more precise, progressive responses. Enjoy enhanced control with more tread rubber in contact with the road, offering exceptional dry and wet handling and improved cornering control.

Aquaplaning resistance. Directional grooves create rapid and turbulence free water drainage, increasing aquaplaning resistance.
Drivability in all winter weather conditions. The WinterSport 3D is optimised to handle every kind of winter condition, thanks to three different sipes positioned on specific parts of the tyre.
Superb dry handling. The SP WinterSport 3D benefits from Dunlop Touch Technology to give you a better feel for the road – crucial for establishing control and handling. A new interlocking 3D sipe creates a tight shoulder area, which improves handling and stability on dry roads.
Excellent wet and dry grip. The special silica compound stays flexible at low temperatures to give you high levels of grip on wet and dry roads. Pressure is distributed evenly across a wide contact patch, helping to maintain road adherence.
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.
Silica-Plus Compound. A motorsport derived tread compound that delivers high levels of grip, particularly on wet roads and in low temperatures.Benefits Superb braking and acceleration performance; high grip in wet and cold-weather conditions; low wear and tear. 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
Multi Blade System. Winter driving conditions can vary greatly. From cold and dry to snow or sleet, these conditions make very high demands on a tyre. Dunlop’s multiple blade system meets this challenge head on, with different types of blades for varying winter road conditions.Benefits Consistent performance in various winter conditions.
Multi Radius Tread (MRT). MRT designs employ ten different radii and are therefore more precise. This results in highly effective pressure deployment on the road contact patch. The effect is smoother transitions from straight to corner, leading to more precise and progressive reactions.Benefits Significantly better control over the evolution of the footprint in all driving conditions; responsive wet and dry handling; increased cornering control.
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).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
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.
