Dunlop StreetResponse 2: Precision and Performance for Passenger Cars
Compact Excellence
Experience top-tier performance in a compact package with the Dunlop StreetResponse 2. This tire is designed to deliver precise steering and superior braking capabilities, making it an excellent choice for passenger cars.
Enhanced Safety Features
The tire boasts high aquaplaning resistance, ensuring safety in wet conditions. Its Jointless Belt (JLB) technology minimizes tire deformation at high speeds, offering superior stability and a smooth, even wear pattern.
Rim Protection
Equipped with Maximum Flange Shield (MFS), this tire features a protective rubber profile that creates a buffer zone to safeguard expensive alloy rims from curb damage. Note that this feature is available in select sizes.
Innovative Tread Design
The asymmetric tread design of the StreetResponse 2 features a variable positive-negative ratio, enhancing aquaplaning resistance. The robust outer shoulder block efficiently channels water away, providing exceptional cornering stability and steering precision.
Optimized Handling
The continuous central rib improves stability and precision, while the asymmetric groove arrangement enhances grip on both wet and dry roads. This results in improved straight-line and cornering performance, as well as increased aquaplaning resistance.
Advanced Tread Profile
Dunlop's latest generation tires feature a flatter tread profile, increasing the contact patch by 4 to 8% depending on tire size and type. This larger contact area ensures higher stability and better road feedback, allowing for quicker and more precise responses.
Multi-Radius Tread (MRT) Design
The innovative MRT design utilizes ten different radii for improved precision, ensuring effective pressure distribution across the tire's contact area. This results in a smoother transition from straight-line to cornering and more precise, progressive reactions. Enjoy significantly enhanced control with more tread rubber engaging the road, offering exceptional dry and wet handling, along with improved cornering control.
Enhanced wet and dry performance for city cars
The new StreetResponse 2 from Dunlop is a city car tyre that offers enhanced grip and shorter braking distances on wet and dry roads.
6% shorter braking in wet versus its predecessor
4% shorter braking in dry versus its predecessor
Dependable handling
KEY BENEFITS:
Shorter Braking in Wet - Rounded footprint helps to cut through the water layer providing enhanced traction on wet roads
Shorter Braking in Dry - Multiple lateral grooves help to shorten braking distances on wet and dry roads
Twin circumferentials - Twin circumferential grooves help to enhance wet traction capabilities
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
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
Variable land to sea ratio. Asymmetric tread design with a variable land to sea ratio delivers high levels of aquaplaning resistance. The massive outer shoulder block ensures rapid and turbulence free water drainage, while also ensuring outstanding cornering stability.Benefits High aquaplaning resistance; increased road contact; enhanced cornering stability and steering precision.
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.
Flatter tread profile. The new generation of Dunlop tyres features a flatter tread profile with a 4-8% bigger contact patch, depending on size and type of tyre. A bigger contact patch delivers more stability and enhanced road feedback, allowing tires to respond quickly and precisely.Benefits Increased stability and steering precision; reduced heel and toe wear; excellent cornering stability and precision; superior dry grip.
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.
