Tire Rank :: Dunlop Winter Sport 5 SUV
15 11 in Light Truck / SUV / Winter
Manufacturer's description
The grip your SUV needs on unforeseen winter roads.
- Enhanced performance on snow-covered roads (Optimized geometry leading to increased block rigidity and therefore uniform pressure distribution);
- Supreme lateral grip on slippery surfaces (Center sipes, now parallel to block edges, increase in length and improve their ability to open and grab onto surfaces);
- Aquaplaning defense (Volume of water that can be evacuated is increased);
- Improved fuel efficiency (Optimized weight distribution in the tyre).
Notable Features
Dunlop Winter Sport 5 SUV is the long-awaited model 2016. It is a directional non-studdable High Performance SUV tire designed to be used in the mild winter conditions of Central Europe. This sports model ensures dependable grip, stable and crisp steering response on slippery winter surfaces, as well as excellent braking performance and fuel efficiency
The Dunlop Winter Sport 5 SUV came to replace the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D, considerably improving on the performance of its predecessor: the engineers were able to “pull up” lateral ice grip by 10%, ice braking by 15%, and fuel efficiency also by 10%.
Furthermore, the European tire Winter Sport 5 SUV demonstrates better grip on wet pavement, which is quite a factor during a typical mild winter, also surpassing its predecessor in snow traction and snow braking.
At the same time, however, on dry pavement the two models demonstrate approximately the same results.
The directional tread pattern of the Winter Sport 5 SUV model has a larger number of siped blocks, which ensure better grip and traction on winter roads.
The sipes in the central section of the tread are now parallel to the edges of the side blocks. The circumferential drainage grooves became 6-10% deeper, which serves to increase hydroplaning resistance.
In addition, the optimized carcass reduced the weight of the Dunlop Winter Sport 5 SUV tire, resulting in lower rolling resistance and improved fuel efficiency for this winter friction model.
