Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D

The Bottom Line

The SP Winter Sport 3D is a decent choice for drivers in milder winter climates, offering good dry grip and handling. However, its lack of 3PMSF certification and lower wet grip score make it less ideal for severe winter conditions.

Important Note

Lack of 3PMSF certification may not meet the needs of those in regions with heavy snowfall or strict winter tire regulations.

Pros

  • Dry grip score of 7.5 is solid for a winter tire, providing confidence on cold, dry roads.
  • Handling score of 7.5 suggests good responsiveness for a winter tire, which can be reassuring in variable conditions.
  • Load index of 99 and speed rating of V make it suitable for heavier vehicles and higher speeds than some winter tires.

Cons

  • Lacks 3PMSF certification, which may limit its effectiveness in severe snow conditions compared to competitors like the Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance+ SUV.
  • Wet grip score of 5.5 is below what you'd expect from a winter tire, potentially compromising performance in slushy or rainy conditions.
  • Noise level at 6 is on the louder side, which could be noticeable on longer drives compared to the quieter Continental VikingContact 7.
