Dunlop SP346+ : A versatile steer tyre for varied commercial operations
Dunlop has launched the SP346+ steer tyre for fleets and hauliers demanding varied performance in all road applications. Whether for long-distance or short-distance journeys, in summer or winter, the Dunlop SP346+ offers a versatile solution.
The Dunlop SP346+ incorporates a range of technologies aimed at delivering high mileage, robust durability, and improved energy efficiency, including for electric vehicles. It offers advanced winter grip, making it suitable for all seasons and uses.
Versatility at the heart of concerns
For many fleets, choosing specific tyres for long-distance, regional, or urban journeys is the best way to optimise efficiency. However, for trucks with mixed use between urban deliveries and highway journeys, a versatile tyre is necessary. This is where the Dunlop SP346+ comes in.
Dunlop has optimised the tread pattern to ensure even contact pressure distribution and shoulder robustness. This increases resistance to damage and wear, offering high mileage and long life even in severe conditions.
Urban use with frequent stops can place extreme demands on steer tyres designed for long-distance journeys. The flexibility of the SP346+ gives it an advantage in terms of durability. The tread pattern includes stiffeners acting as rib connectors, reducing shoulder rib slippage during steering, thus improving wear resistance.
3PMSF marking for all-weather excellence
The new Dunlop SP346+ carries the Three Peak Mountain SnowFlake (3PMSF) symbol. This marking ensures compliance with European regulations for all-weather transport, including winter. This guarantees that the SP346+ is compliant across Europe, regardless of local legal requirements.
This all-weather capability comes from the high-density zigzag sipes and grooves. A large number of sipes create more biting edges, improving traction, and their innovative locking design increases tread rigidity. This technology offers high mileage potential with low rolling resistance, while maintaining the flexibility needed to achieve high levels of winter traction and mobility.
