🇯🇵 Dunlop SP Sport LM705 (215/45R18 93W JP)

“The Shinobi of the Road.” Silent Performance with Japanese Precision.

The LM705 is the successor to the LM704, specifically engineered to tackle road noise and vibration. It uses a unique construction philosophy that prioritizes a “supple” ride, making it ideal for the concrete-heavy expressways of Singapore.

✨ Key 2026 Technical Features

• 🥷 Shinobi (Ninja) Technology:Inspired by the silent footsteps of a ninja, this technology optimizes the tyre’s sidewall flexibility. The sidewall acts as a vibration-absorbing cushion, reducing the impact felt when driving over expansion joints on the PIE or uneven tarmac in older estates.

• 🔇 24% Reduction in Road Noise: The LM705 features a higher number of smaller tread blocks compared to its predecessor. This design breaks up the air frequency within the grooves, leading to a 24% decrease in interior road noise, creating a serene environment for conversations and music.

• 📏 Rounded Footprint Design:Unlike traditional flat-profile tyres, the LM705 has a slightly rounded contact patch. This allows the tyre to touch the road gradually from the center outwards, which suppresses the “thumping” sound typically heard when hitting bumps.

• 🧪 High-Silica Asymmetric Pattern:The asymmetric tread pattern is rich in silica to ensure reliable grip. The inner side is designed for water drainage, while the outer side features rigid blocks for stable cornering and lane-change confidence.

• 📉 Low Rolling Resistance:Engineered to be lightweight and efficient, the LM705 helps improve fuel economy for petrol vehicles and can slightly extend the range for hybrid models, making it a cost-effective long-term choice.
