Advantages of the FM800 Dunlop Sport Tyre

Versatility, durability and performance – Zimbabwean motorists can now have it all in one game-changing passenger tyre range. Zimbabwe will be the first market to benefit from the launch of the new Dunlop SP Sport FM800 - a next generation tyre with such impressive all-round performance characteristics that Dunlop are rolling it out in 42 sizes to replace decades of proven patterns in the 14-18” market segment.

Tyre selection can be difficult for the average motorist, however with the new Dunlop SP Sport FM800 pattern design, the choice is simplified for consumers, dealers and distributors by offering an all-round tyre to own the road between entry-level and ultra-high performance vehicle fitment.

According to Sumitomo Rubber South Africa (Pty) Ltd (SRSA), the manufacturer and distributor of the iconic Dunlop brand in South Africa and 45 countries in Africa, recent tests of the FM800 have yielded impressive results when benchmarked against selected competitors in this market segment. This included a 21.5% improvement in the subjective driving experience and a 14.7% reduction in wet braking distance when compared to selected competitors.

Although the FM800 will replace some of Dunlop’s most popular patterns like the SP Sport 6060, The SP Sport 7000D and the SP Sport 600 with a single pattern into this mass market segment, Riaz Haffejee: CEO of SRSA, says the company is confident in this evolution, “It’s simple – this is Dunlop’s most advanced locally produced passenger tyre ever, with improvements in every facet.”
