Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D

top tyre superb in the snow

Good for the winter - decent grip in the snow and handling quite good too. Very bumpy ride though

Bought these tyres because they have excellent marks in ADAC/OAMTC, AutoBild and other tests. They are simply brilliant. The only negative I can say is how long they last. I don't expect they will make 15,000 miles (25,000 km). But in this size it is not very unusual.

An excellent Winter tyre from Dunlop. Fitted to the front (only) of my VW Sharan 2.0 TDi. First class performance in the snow. Also in the wet, resulting in them remaining on throughout the year. I wasmpressed with the wear also as got 16k miles out of them. Replaced with another pair such was my satisfaction. Buy them in summer and store them ready for winter is my advice as the price can rise. Overall: Highly Recommended.

!ts off its hard to rare these tyres against the scales above as they tend to be geared towards summer driving and these are winter tyres when you will adjust our driving style. That said these tyres eat snow for breakfast, love the cold (best below zero). I have summer tyres on a 4WD car and with the Winter 3Ds on a BMW (RWD) the BM was 100% better in the snow/ice/slush than the 4WD car.

Would I buy again, absolutely, but they're only on for approx 4 months so it'll be a few years before I need another set.

If you struggled with your summer tyres in the heavy snow / cold conditions the UK has experienced over the past 2 winters they get some for these tyres..... you wont be disappointed

I had a SWB Shogun with 'sport' tyres that we supposedly good on snow too - the truth was that the oversized tyres were like rubber rings and were simply useless! My S3 was supprisingly much more capable on snow and ice than the Shogun. The problem was stopping! After much searching and reading of reviews I ended up with a set of SP 3D and the difference is simply, astonishing. The moment I pulled out of the garage with my new tyres (3-4inches of snow lying at the time) I instantly noticed the difference. Up hills on deep snow, ice, slush and compacted snow the car sailed up with no spinning whatsoever. Stopping is obviously not the same as on a dry road, but the difference is fantastic. I managed to stop and start on hills my Dad's Nissan Patrol (with all terrains) struggled with. If you are unsure about an making an investment in winter tyres, I wouldn't give it another thought. The safety alone is worth every penny. The look on people's faces when I motor pass then in an arrow straight line is pretty good too! I shall never have a car without winter tyres on during the winter months again!

These tyres are brilliant. Granted I don't have any other winter tyres to compare against, but in Snow/Slush/Ice/Standing Water they really inspire confidence.

These have transformed our BMW 1 Series from a Snow no-go, to a Snow Hero.
