Mounted on a 2013 RS5, did very well in the PNW
On ice they experienced minor slipping, otherwise they exceeded expectations in 1-6" of wet and dry snow here in the pnw. Wet performance was spectacular through puddles at freeway speeds. Dry performance was great as well for spirited winter drives. The difference in price from a blizzack or Alpin is an added bonus as they seemed on par if not better than my set of Alpins.

My wife drives her 2007 VW Eos to work every day. Before purchasing these tires driving in snow during Northeast winters was very scary. She has been driving on these tires for the last 7 years and hasn't been stuck in the snow once. The traction is also great in wet and dry conditions with very little road noise. I will continue buying them as long as we own this car. Unfortunately I had to replace 2 tires this summer and SimpleTire was the only dealer that still had them in stock which made me very happy that I didn't have to change tire models.

Winter is coming, and that means colder temperatures along with ice, slush, and snow on the roadways. This change in weather can give drivers added stress if they don't have a set of tires that are designed to conquer these elements. Fortunately, the SP Winter Sport 3D from Dunlop was built to give drivers better handling and traction on wintery roads ways. Featuring an exclusive Active Traction Sipe System that provides strong traction and braking on ice and snow, the SP Winter Sport 3D's tread design allows for strong handling on wet roads. Reactive silica allows the tire to remain flexible at lower temperatures, and the SP Winter Sport 3D features a Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol thanks to its ability to conquer severe snow conditions.
