Does this tire fit your vehicle?

Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

Ultra High Performance All-Season run-flat tires provide temporary self-supporting run-flat mobility for a distance of 50 miles at up to 50 mph, even after a puncture has allowed complete air pressure loss. They are designed for driving enthusiasts who want a combination of a performance appearance, responsive handling and Z-speed rated (or higher) durability along with all-season traction, including in light snow. Ultra High Performance All-Season run-flat tires branded with the M+S symbol are often used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on sports cars, performance coupes and high performance sedans.

O.E. Ultra High Performance All-Season run-flat tires are typically purchased as direct replacements for worn-out pairs/sets of the vehicle's original tires. They can also be used for other vehicle applications in complete sets of four or axle pairs if available in an appropriate size, load range and speed rating to match the existing O.E. run-flat tires' performance category and specifications.

NOTE: Run-flat tires are only recommended for vehicles that are originally equipped with self-supporting run-flat tires and equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system.

Limited sizes of the SP Sport 5000 DSST CTT are available with Dunlop's Noise Shield Technology, which involves the manufacturer adhering a layer of sound-absorbing foam to the inner liner of the tire to reduce cabin noise in the vehicle. These sizes are identified on the Specs page and in the search results.

Dunlop SP Sport 5000 DSST CTT Reviews

Customers think the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 DSST CTT delivers inconsistent dry traction, with scores ranging from poor to excellent (0-10), though some note strong cornering stability. Wet and winter traction receive mixed feedback, with hydroplaning resistance and ice performance often criticized (common scores 3-5). Comfort is a frequent concern, with low marks for ride quality and noise levels (scores 1-5 typical). Treadwear shows polarizing results, ranging from rapid wear (scores 0-3) to satisfactory longevity (7-8). While a few drivers praise dry handling and stability, the tire's all-season capabilities face skepticism due to uneven performance in wet and winter conditions.

Wet traction disappoints with many scores between 0-5, highlighting slippery handling and hydroplaning risks. While some rate 7-10, dissatisfaction dominates for this all-season tire's critical performance aspect.

...Low traction in the wet, mediocre grip in the dry, rough ride, and noisy...

Awful tires. Some of the worst I've ever driven on. Low traction in the wet, mediocre grip in the dry, rough ride, and noisy. The fact that these cost almost $500 a piece is a joke! Tires at half the price of this are so much better! I also have had trouble with sidewall blowouts as others have mentioned in the comments. Buy ANY other tire.

This is the worst tire you can get. Especially if you have to deal with rain and winter a lot. Traction isn�t good. You tent to oversteer going over a puddle. Always give me the anxious feeling driving when it rains. (Sometimes in general)

...Traction in rain is terrible, do not even attempt to drive in the snow or ice or you will end up in the body shop...

This is the worst tire I have ever driven on. Infiniti should be ashamed for screwing over us car buyers. This tire has been used about 1 year, but only about 8,000 miles because I used winter tires for 5 months. They are already down to 5/32. Traction in rain is terrible, do not even attempt to drive in the snow or ice or you will end up in the body shop. The replacement cost of these crap tires is insane, almost $350/ea, at minimum! Do NOT buy these tires!

Winter traction receives concerning ratings, with most scores between 0-6. Customers report slippery performance in snow and ice, with some experiencing loss of traction. Unacceptable for an all-season tire's intended use.

Unacceptable OEM tire that Infiniti uses. Loud tire that pulls car side to side on uneven roads. Don’t even think about using on snow or ice.

Garbage OEM tires. Amazed Nissan puts these on the Q50/Q60 RS 400. Mediocre dry performance, poor wet/snow performance, and the worst tread wear of any tire I've owned.

...They ride hard, don't inspire confidence, feel dangerous in the wet and snow...

These tires are terrible. They ride hard, don't inspire confidence, feel dangerous in the wet and snow. Hidroplano like crazy. They make a sports car feel and handle awful. Had a tire go over at pothole and the tire walls cracked/ exploded. Never had a tired do that. I could have gotten a free replacement from Infiniti but instead, I replaced all four tires with Michelin Pilot apt 3+. I wouldn't put these tires in my car if they paid me to. Infiniti should be ashamed to use these terrible, dangerous tires in it's cars.

Dry traction shows concerning inconsistency, with scores ranging 0-6 alongside some 9-10s. Multiple reports of unacceptable grip and instability during aggressive maneuvers. Displeased customers highlight poor responsiveness, a critical flaw for an Ultra High Performance tire.

...Ride was always loud and felt like the car was slipping on dry roads...

So disappointed in my infiniti. My past 2 leaves with infiniti, well I did not have to change any tires from.beginning to end. With these tires, I replaced one this may due to the sidewall blowing out, and now its October and the other 3 are worn down and eont pass inspection. No way I'm paying $2000 for these tires. Ride was always loud and felt like the car was slipping on dry roads. Stay away.

...It should be illegal on how poor these tires perform in ANY category, wet, dry, ice, ANYTHING!...

STAY AWAY FROM THESE TIRES!!!

It should be illegal on how poor these tires perform in ANY category, wet, dry, ice, ANYTHING! My brother, who has extreme summer performance Falken tires does a wayyy better job in rain and snow, and they are cheaper. One of my front tires recently started having a random inner tire wear, and even after an alignment, it was still wearing that one tire. Also road noise sounds like you are constantly driving on rough roads and it feels like it too, it’s ridiculous! If someone is telling you to get these tires, they probably don’t like you. These tires belong in the trash!

Many customers rate comfort between 0-5, citing harsh ride and excessive noise. While some scores reach 7-10, frequent low marks highlight poor ride quality and unbearable road noise for an all-season tire.

...Besides the harshness, noise, incredible wear rate (down to 7/32 at 10k miles), horrendous traction, and PRICE, the worst part of the tires is their ability to redirect your car along road imperfections...

It really is amazing how awful these tires truly are... if I was trying to make them somehow worse I'm not sure what I would do. Besides the harshness, noise, incredible wear rate (down to 7/32 at 10k miles), horrendous traction, and PRICE, the worst part of the tires is their ability to redirect your car along road imperfections. It feels as if there's some auto pilot trying to take over the car if the lane has any wear or grooves in it. Any kind of snow/slush/ice is just immediately dangerous. These manage to negate any AWD capabilities of the car. I cannot fathom how these tires are available for purchase, and pity anyone else who ends up stuck with them as their vehicle's original tires. Infiniti needs to wake up and realize the damage these tires do to their brand. The only saving grace of these is they'll wear out quickly so you can come back to this site and get some real tires. I cannot wait to get some Continental DWS 06's as replacements.

Cannot convey how hard these tires are. Comfort almost non exhistant giving harshest ride I have ever experienced.
My third Infiniti but first with run flats and cannot wait until the Dunlop's have to be replaced with non run flat tires.
Wonderful vehicle, but these tires and run flat capability really diminish joy of ownership.
To top it all off, the Infiniti came with run flats, but with a full tire jack and spare!

...Way too noisy, minimal comfort, it just destroys the experience of driving...

Guys, I am sorry but I will only be able to write the truth. This is a piece of ---- tire that should never even be installed on factory fit from the company. Way too noisy, minimal comfort, it just destroys the experience of driving. Well, even for sportiveness, its not as responsive as one would think while accelerating. Does not provides any grip in little snow either. A punture in the tire is difficult to patch, and no local companies were willing to do it, so I ended up getting rid of them at 31K miles and getting the top rated Pirelli Cinturato P7 all-season plus. I will never buy the Dunlop Sport 5000 DSST CTT Run flat ever again. Well I am lazy too, but this time I had to write a review for this scum of the tires.

...I've had uneven tread wear, the inner sides of the front tires thinning down to the wear bars, while the outer edges wore as expected. Have had the alignment done by dealer multiple times, still wearing uneven... Sidewall bubbles, and tread life are the two reasons these are the worst tires I've ever owned.

When I purchased my car, the salesman strongly suggested that I purchase the wheel/tire coverage... I'm glad I did. I've driven the car 50,000 miles, and have had 5 tire replacements so far due to bubbles forming in the sidewalls. This usually comes after hitting a pothole, and gives the "wobble" noise. I've had uneven tread wear, the inner sides of the front tires thinning down to the wear bars, while the outer edges wore as expected. Have had the alignment done by dealer multiple times, still wearing uneven. Unlike most people, I prefer the stiff, hard ride - that's why I bought a sporty car. Sidewall bubbles, and tread life are the two reasons these are the worst tires I've ever owned.

...Tire wear is terrible...

Replaced 6 tires in 12500 miles due to boubles on sidewall all due to minor potholes. Tire wear is terrible and even with new tires balanced 2x at dealership still did not feel smooth on highway.
Moved to Continetals and 0 issues after 20k miles and counting.
