Dunlop SP Sport Aquajet Tyres

Dunlop SP Sport Aquajet Car Tyres

The Dunlop SP Sport Aquajet is one of the most celebrated classic radial tyres ever produced, instantly recognisable for its distinctive tread pattern and long association with high performance European cars of the late 1960s and 1970s.

Designed to deliver excellent road manners, stability, and authentic period appearance, the Aquajet remains a favourite among owners who want their classic to drive and look exactly as it did when new. For enthusiasts seeking originality backed by modern manufacturing quality, the Dunlop SP Sport Aquajet stands out as a true icon.

Introduced at a time when radial technology was transforming roadcar performance, the Aquajet quickly became original equipment on some of the most desirable models of the era. It was factory fitted to the Jaguar E Type, Mini Cooper, and Mini Cooper S, as well as widely used on sports cars and saloons from Lotus, Triumph, MG, and Rover. Its unique tread design, featuring the characteristic “jet” slots, was engineered to enhance water dispersal and stability.

Vintage Tyres, in partnership with Dunlop continues to manufacture the SP Sport Aquajet to original specifications, using modern materials and quality control processes while preserving the tyre’s authentic appearance. The classic tread pattern, period correct sidewall styling, and traditional profiles make it ideal for concours restorations and high quality road cars alike.
