Ultra-high performance from Dunlop SP SPORT 01

The Dunlop SP Sport 01 tyres from Dunlop Tyres are well known for their power of 3S – safety, smoothness of ride and enabling a sporty performance. With the Dunlop SP Sport 01 MFS tyres, another ‘S’ is added to the tyre features – ‘security’ of the alloys due the MFS technology. MFS stands for Maximum Flange Shield. It is an alloy rim protection technology patented by Dunlop. Dunlop MFS tyres have an additional profile of rubber running along the tyre circumference close to the lower sidewall. This rubber band is positioned just above the alloy rims and thus offers additional protection to expensive rims from accidental kerbing damage. Thus with the Dunlop SP Sport 01 MFS tyres, in addition to a sporty smooth and safe ride, you can be at peace about the security of your alloys.

Enhanced stability and steering responsiveness

The asymmetric tread pattern enhances contact patch on wet and dry surface, enhancing stability. In addition, the silica rich tread compound ensures that the tyre retains its shape without too much deformation at high speeds. This imparts maximum steering responsiveness and stability on straight roads as well as during cornering at all speeds.

Improved wet grip

The silica reinforced tread compound enhances grip and traction on all surfaces. As a result, braking distances are greatly reduced on wet and dry surfaces, enhancing safety. Additionally, the special tread blocks in the tread design effectively disperse surface water even under conditions of heavy rain, keeping the under tread area water-free and improving wet grip and handling.

Quiet peaceful ride

The Dunlop SP Sport 01 MFS tyres exhibit a parallelogram block tread design, which cancels out the irritating audible frequencies generated from the tyre motion. As a result, you experience a quiet, peaceful ride. The tread pattern is also optimised for even tread wear, prolonging tyre life significantly.

The USP of the Dunlop SP Sport 01 MFS tyres apart from the MFS technology is the unique asymmetric tread pattern which divides the tread into three distinct zones, each corresponding with features responsible for ensuring a smooth, sporty and safe ride.

This pattern may be suitable as Original Equipment for a number of different car manufacturers. If you are unsure what the symbols mean within the tyre search results, please head over to our tyre symbols guide.

SP Sport 01 reviewed by Ronald Byfield
on 09/11/2020 (JAGUAR XF V6 PREMIUM LUXURY)

These tyres are recommended by Jaguar and I think they improve the ride and quietness. Wear rate is good to. The tyres that were originally on the car were not good for stability, so fitting the Dunlops improved the handling of the car and made me feel safer.

Wide variation in retail prices.

A good quality tyre that performs reasonably well in all conditions, it is also keenly priced for a run flat tyre compared to other brands.

Unfortunately, run flat tyres tend to be noisier than conventional tyres, they are also more expensive and wear quicker in my opinion.

These tyres were fitted on the car by the manufacture,so i would presume they were suited to this model of car. That is the main reason i chose these tyres as a replacement .

These tyres are excellent I have not actually run one down yet.

The down side as they are run flats they are unable to get a repair if puncture by a screw. This has happened a couple of times.

As with all low profile tyres, they are more suited to perfect surfaces than narrow lanes.

The selection process online was very easy to follow - this being the first time I purchased them online. Also the ability to then choose when to have them fitted is great. It saves a lot of time and as a customer the service provided by National Tyres is excellent.

The fact at some point they will wear out!

These tyres remove plenty of water, essential for safe motorway driving in the wet!

One tyre was replaced as it was punctured by a large screw fastener...perhaps all tyres would have been punctured by such a screw. Who knows!
