Goodyear rolls out Dunlop SP Sport Signature

May 14, 2007

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has introduced the Dunlop SP Sport Signature all-season touring performance tire, part of the Dunlop brand's Signature power line.

The tire "is built for the growing number of performance drivers who demand all-season traction and enhanced tread life to go with cornering g forces," says Todd Hershberger, director of Dunlop North America.

It contains a "Wet Performance Sector" and a "Dry Performance Sector."

The Wet Performance Sector contains the Dunlop brand's Hydro-Paddle Technology, "a hydrodynamic feature that literally helps pump water through a narrow channel and away from the tire," according to Goodyear officials. The tire's Dry Performance Sector "uses a solid shoulder area for enhanced dry handling, straight sipes for a stiff solid contact surface and a solid center rib for enhanced road feedback."

The SP Sport Signature performance tire is available in 17 sizes.
