Dunlop Motorsport can now help owners searching for new, historically-proportionate tires for their Jaguar, Citroen or Mercedes. The reproduction of the Dunlop SP Sport D8 in size 185 VR 15, pairs state-of-the-art engineering with the authentic appearance originally featured on these older model cars.
With a permissible top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph), the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Fellbach near Stuttgart
obtained approval for the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, so that this tyre can be fitted to the 300 SL without any worries. More specifically, approval by DaimlerChrysler means: "that the SP Sport D 8 meets all the stringent safety requirements which also apply to new vehicles. The test procedures required are extremely complex and can only be performed on the test facilities existing at the factory, but only in this way are 100-percent safety even under extremely difficult conditions and optimum handling and ride characteristics ensured."
Jeff Hastie, Manager for Classic Tyres at Stuckey Tyre Service says: "These tyres are now available and are particlarly suitable for older Jaguars, Citroen DS and of course the Gull Wing Mercedes".
