About the Dunlop SP Sport 01

Performance-bred grip for drivers who mean it.

Best forEnthusiast drivers seeking responsive handling and wet/dry confidence on performance-oriented passenger cars in warm-weather conditions.

The Dunlop SP Sport 01 is an ultra-high-performance summer tire built for drivers who demand more from their vehicles. Engineered to match the capabilities of sport and performance cars, it delivers confident handling on both dry and wet pavement, responsive steering feel, and a composed ride at elevated speeds. It ships as original equipment on the Subaru Impreza.

The SP Sport 01 uses a specialized rubber compound optimized for warm-weather driving, providing strong grip on dry and wet surfaces while keeping rolling resistance in check. Jointless Band Technology contributes to ride smoothness and stability at higher speeds. A built-in Max Flange Shield along the sidewall helps guard wheel rims against incidental curb contact. The tire features a black sidewall finish.

Questions about this tire

Is the SP Sport 01 suitable for winter or snow driving?

No. The SP Sport 01 is a summer-category tire with a compound engineered for warm weather. It is not rated for severe snow service and is not recommended for use in near-freezing temperatures, ice, or snow. Drivers in climates with cold winters should switch to a dedicated winter or all-weather tire during those months.

What makes this tire a good fit for performance cars?

The SP Sport 01 is built around enhanced steering response and high-speed stability, qualities that complement the handling characteristics of sport-oriented vehicles. Its tread compound is tuned to maximize grip on both dry and wet surfaces, and Jointless Band Technology helps maintain composure at elevated speeds.

Does the Max Flange Shield actually protect my wheels?

The Max Flange Shield is a raised rubber feature on the sidewall designed to act as a buffer between the wheel rim and a curb during low-speed contact. It can reduce cosmetic damage in everyday parking situations, though it is not a guarantee against damage from hard impacts.

What is the mileage warranty on the SP Sport 01?

The SP Sport 01 carries a manufacturer warranty. For specific warranty terms and coverage details, we recommend confirming directly with Dunlop or at the point of purchase, as conditions may apply.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
