Opinion from outside the UK

The best tires on which I rode, I went back to them for driving, unfortunately, two seasons on factory tires from another manufacturer. The tire is just fantastic, especially for high speeds, especially on wet roads. What is interesting is well priced and much better than much more expensive. Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

Dunlop SP Sport 01 are not that expensive if you take their performance under consideration. I was thinking about going for SP9000 but I finally decided to go for Dunlop SP Sport 01 and I do not regrett it. Thanks to the mid part of the tread you can almost forget about the torque steer in your powerfull FWD (my car has 230bhp). On dry tarmac they are very good, but while cornering aggresively the outter part of the tyre rubbs of pretty quickly. Any other part of the tread is quite resistance to the attriction. Dunlop SP Sport 01 are the most silent tyres that I ever had in my life. The image is not that awesome, but for me the look of the tyre is not the most crucial thing. Dunlop SP Sport 01 is intended to improve car control and safety. I have W index, but I had no opportunity to drive more than 130 MPH. I do recommend them for sure. Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

I got those Dunlop SP Sport 01 with my new car. They seemed to be new (they still had those coloured stripes on the tread surface). About 7-8 mm of the tread left. RIght now I have made about 20k miles on them. I still have about 4mm tread left. I drive dynamically and it doesn't natter if it is in the city or outside of it. I do fast cornering, I like to move-off dynamically as well. On dry road surface Dunlop SP Sport 01 behaves very well. I have no restrictions in regards to it's dry road performance. On wet road surface their grip is still ok, the problem starts with moving-off on wet road surface. In addition I have quite a few horses in my Vectra so I like to show those youngsters on the traffic lights how a Vauxhall can perform. All in all Dunlop SP Sport 01 is a decent tyre and I do recommend them for sure. Read more Collapse

The Dunlop SP Sport 01 features an asymmetric tread design which improves handling and provides greater protection against aquaplaning. The Dunlop Self Supporting Technology (DSST) makes it possible to continue driving safely for a further 80 km after a puncture or blow-out. The rim protection system features a carefully designed rubber profile which runs around the tyre's circumference to create a protective buffer zone. The tyre also features a hybrid overlay technology which reduces circumferential deformation at high speeds.
