Opinion from outside the UK

I bought a set of new tyres together with brand-new alloy wheels dedicated to my new Vauxhall Insiginia. I decided for Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D. At the very beginning I had an impression that after fitting the tyres look like they were square. After warming them up and driving a longer distance they started to look and work properly. I am satisfied with a quality of these tyres. However, next time I have to choose a better fitting station. I think the tyres were not fitted properly to the wheels. The tyres have good reviews. They provide a good adhesion in different temperatures. The components that were used to build the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D are lightweight. Therefore, the rolling resistance is reduced. Although I initially had some issues with these tyres I think that their quality is one of the best. I would like to recommend them to everybody. Very good quality to price ratio. Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

The tyres are pretty good. My decision to purchase the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D tyres was basend on many differeny factors but the main one was their noise level. I am very satisfied with a quality of Winter Sport 4D model. I have not noticed any serious disadvantages. I had some CWC 830 P tyres previously mounted on my vehicle and they were even quieter. My next purchase will be probably CWC again. It is worth reading drivers' reviews on tyres before you place your order. It is also good to talk with a fitter or people who tested particular product. You can also find many tests in different sources. If somebody asked me if these tyres are worth their price, I would say without any doubts that yes, they are. Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

Hello, I bought four brand-new Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D tyres. I have been driving a lot on them and their tread worn out pretty quickly. They are great tyres, especially when they are new. After some time they loose their performance as all tyres. My driving style is an aggressive one. I like to drive fast. I drive mainly in a city and on a highway from time to time. I do not regret my purchase because The Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D provides an astonishing grip and it looks great! I placed another order with this company for SP 01 summer tyres, which are really durable. If you are looking for premium class tyres in a reasonable price, then these are tyres for you.

Opinion from outside the UK

Previously I drove on Winter Sport 3D, they worked very well that's why I decided to buy the new 4D model. SP Winter Sport 4D are also very good. I have them on my 4x4 and they are match it perfectly. The only drawback that I observed is the lower grip in temperatures above 10 celssius. Read more Collapse

Technical description: The Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D is a winter tyre that offers a versatile performance. Drivers using these tyres can expect excellent performance on all types of winter roads, optimal driveability on icy surfaces, superb control and grip on wet roads and substantial fuel savings as the tyre's design ensures economical use.

One element that helps the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D perform so well on winter roads is its design combined with a very high quality rubber compound noted for its excellent grip. The model therefore drives well in any winter conditions. Very good traction on ice and snow is due to the innovative tread design and the huge number of gripping edges on the tread blocks. Thanks to the additional deep sipes in the central part of the tread, the tyre performs exceptionally well when accelerating, braking and climbing uphill.

The directional grooves making up the tyre's tread pattern perform effectively in rain or thawing conditions. Since the tyre is noted for its light construction and is made from an innovative compound, it uses less energy and therefore consumes less fuel, making it more environmentally friendly as it produces fewer CO2 emissions.

Information about the manufacturer: It all began in 1888 when John B. Dunlop developed the pneumatic tyre. A year later the company already had its first victory under its belt in bicycle racing. Similar and even greater successes were to come many more times in the brand's history. In 1948 Dunlop presented the first tyre that did not lose air, even when punctured. Dunlop is currently owned by the American Goodyear group and the Japanese group Sumitomo.
