Dunlop StreetResponse 2 ( 165/70 R14 85T XL )

Enhanced wet and dry performance for city cars The new StreetResponse 2 from Dunlop is a city car tyre that offers enhanced grip and shorter braking distances on wet and dry roads. 6% shorter braking in wet versus its predecessor 4% shorter braking in dry versus its predecessor Dependable handling KEY BENEFITS: Shorter Braking in Wet - Rounded footprint helps to cut through the water layer providing enhanced traction on wet roads Shorter Braking in Dry - Multiple lateral grooves help to shorten braking distances on wet and dry roads Twin circumferentials - Twin circumferential grooves help to enhance wet traction capabilities Specific bead seat system. Strengthens the link between tyre and rim for a more precise driving experience. Like the grip between your hand and the steering wheel, the Specific Bead Seat System enhances control and conveys outstanding road feedback.Benefits Enhanced road feedback; greater stability and precision. Jointless Belt (JLB). A Hybrid Overlay Technology that reduces circumferential deformations at high speeds.Benefits Superior high speed stability Maximum Flange Shield (MFS). A rim flange protection system. MFS employs a profile of rubber that runs around the circumference of the tyre above the wheel flange. This creates a protective buffer zone.* Benefits Protects expensive alloy wheels from kerbing.* Only available in select sizes Variable land to sea ratio. Asymmetric tread with a variable land to sea ratio delivers high levels of aquaplaning resistance. The massive outer shoulder block ensures rapid and turbulence free water drainage, while also ensuring outstanding cornering stability.Benefits High aquaplaning resistance; increased road contact; enhanced cornering stability and steering precision. Asymmetric Tread . Asymmetric tread provides improved handling and aquaplaning resistance. The continuous center rib increases stability and precision. The asymmetric groove arrangement enhances grip on wet and dry surfaces.Benefits Improved performance on straight lines and around corners. Flatter tread profile. The new generation of Dunlop tyres features a flatter tread profile with a 4-8% bigger contact patch, depending on size and type of tyre. A bigger contact patch delivers more stability and enhanced road feedback, allowing tires to respond quickly and precisely.Benefits Increased stability and steering precision; reduced heel and toe wear; excellent cornering stability and precision; superior dry grip. Multi Radius Tread (MRT). MRT s employ ten different radii and are therefore more precise. This results in highly effective pressure deployment on the road contact patch. The effect is smoother transitions from straight to corner, leading to more precise and progressive reactions.Benefits Significantly better control over the evolution of the footprint in all driving conditions; responsive wet and dry handling; increased cornering control.
