Dunlop Unveils the SP TOURING R1 L Tyres

Johannesburg, South Africa – Dunlop Tyres South Africa has officially launched its latest innovation, the Dunlop SP TOURING R1 L tyres, targeting the local and African passenger tyre market. Specially designed for 15-inch tyres and below, this new-generation tyre is manufactured in South Africa to handle the unique demands of the country’s road conditions.

Key Features of the SP TOURING R1 L

The SP TOURING R1 L offers several advanced features to enhance tyre performance and durability:

  • Deep Tread Depth and Wide Tread Width: These attributes contribute to a longer tyre life and improved mileage.
  • Narrow Sipes on the Tread: This design ensures better performance in wet conditions.
  • Wide Straight and Lateral Grooves: These grooves help resist hydroplaning, offering added safety during rainy weather.
  • Circular Profile Design: This feature delivers uniform bending under load, improving handling stability on various road surfaces.

Commitment to Local Development

Lubin Ozoux, CEO of Dunlop Tyres South Africa, highlighted Dunlop’s dedication to local tyre manufacturing. “Tyres play a critical role in our daily lives. Whether we’re students with our first car or getting our families where they need to be, we rely on them. The SP TOURING R1 L tyres are designed for the driver who always goes the extra mile, providing peace of mind as they navigate life on South African roads.”

Importance of Tyre Maintenance

Driving with tyres in poor condition can result in issues such as tyre busts, increased punctures, bulges, uneven wear, and blowouts. Inferior imported tyres, particularly those without safety testing, pose additional risks. To help drivers avoid these challenges, Dunlop offers free cover through its Dunlop Sure programme. This includes:

  • Passenger Tyre Insurance: Free for 12 months.
  • Truck Tyre Insurance: Free for 18 months.
  • Mileage Warranty: Up to 100,000 km.
  • Product Life Warranty: Cover for up to 8 years.

The SP TOURING R1 L tyres demonstrate Dunlop's commitment to meeting the specific needs of South African drivers by delivering precision-engineered products that enhance road safety and tyre longevity.
