Dunlop SP Sport LM705 (185/55R16 83V JP)

The “Shinobi” Tyre. Engineered for Silent Comfort and Smooth Stability.

The LM705 is the successor to the LM704 and represents a total redesign focused on shock absorption. It is marketed under the “Shinobi” (Ninja) concept, emphasizing a “stealthy” and quiet progress over the road.

✨ Key “Shinobi” Technologies

• 🥷 Shinobi Technology (Shock Absorption):

  The LM705 features a redesigned sidewall and footprint that allows the tyre to flex more effectively. This acts as a secondary “cushion,” absorbing road vibrations and smoothing out the impact from expansion joints and potholes on Singapore’s expressways.

• 🔇 24% Noise Reduction:

  Compared to the previous LM704, the LM705 boasts a 24% reduction in road noise. It uses a higher number of smaller tread blocks to disrupt air resonance, resulting in a much quieter cabin—perfect for smaller hatchbacks that have less soundproofing.

• 📐 Rounder Footprint:

  Instead of a flat contact patch, the LM705 uses a rounder shape that allows the tyre to contact the road gradually from the center outwards. This “tip-toe” effect minimizes the “slap” sound of the tyre hitting the pavement.

• 🌧️ Enhanced Wet Grip:

  The asymmetric tread pattern is optimized for water evacuation. While it is a comfort tyre, it provides high stability and Class A/B wet braking, giving you confidence during sudden afternoon heavy rain.

• 📏 Improved Longevity:

  The Japan-made compound is specifically formulated to resist heat buildup. This prevents the rubber from hardening prematurely in our tropical climate, ensuring the tyre stays “supple” and quiet for a longer portion of its lifespan.
