The SP Sport 5000 is a high-performance all-season tire designed for sports cars, sporty coupes, and performance sedans. It offers excellent traction on both dry and wet roads, as well as light snow. The tire's tread design varies depending on the size and vehicle application. Smaller sizes have an asymmetric tread design, with large outer shoulder blocks and independent intermediate tread blocks for improved cornering and stability on dry roads. The inner tread blocks with open shoulder grooves enhance wet traction and minimize the risk of hydroplaning. Larger sizes, on the other hand, have a symmetric tread design, featuring large shoulder blocks, notched intermediate ribs, and a continuous center rib. This design aims to balance dry cornering and handling with wet traction and resistance to hydroplaning. Moreover, the tire incorporates full-face, cross-cut sipes in all sizes to provide better traction on slush and snow. It also utilizes a special high-performance all-season tread compound, which combines traction, treadwear, and rolling resistance to perform well under various driving and weather conditions. In terms of its internal structure, the SP Sport 5000 includes twin steel belts reinforced by Dunlop's Jointless Band (JLB) technology. The use of spirally wound nylon in this technology enhances the tire's durability at high speeds, reduces its weight, and contributes to a more balanced ride quality.
