Chosen as as original equipment on Ford XR8/XR6 for its impressive comfort and quality. Fitted as OE to the head turning Rover 75. Developed for the discerning performance saloon car driver, the SP SPORT 3000 represents the pinnacle of non-directional tyre design. A new asymetric pattern tyre for the latest breed of high performance luxury cars. Imagine a tyre on the road. Imagine suspension geometry changing with acceleration, braking, cornering, each half of the tyre being pounded by different loads and forces as it grips in all weathers.
The everyday life of a performance tyre. Dunlop SP SPORT 3000A has two tread patterns across its width. Each designed to deal with the differences in life on the inside and the outside. Open shoulder with tread channels directed outwards to clear water faster. Superb aquaplaning resistance. Closed, broad shoulder with stabilised pattern blocks puts more rubber on the road. Precise handling, wet or dry. More even wear across the tread giving greater durability. Precise steering. Unique pattern configuration and casing construction. Class leading standards of ride comfort, quietness and refinement: Quieter in the environment through significant reductions in pass by noise: Great looks on the car. Lower rolling resistance construction. Saves fuel.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

19.06.2014fromj.c. Very good all round tyre.brilliant in the heavy rain.an good for a trackday to
03.07.2010fromJerry Tyres are fantastic but the savings I got online were pretty much neutralised by the fitting / balancing costs. The differential needs to be noticeable if I am to purchase online again.
