The 10 Best Dunlop Tires

Radial tubeless tire for category vehicles SUV. Performance is based on off-road and normal asphalt pavement. The tread pattern is quite complex, it contains multiple elements of different configurations, which provide load distribution over the entire contact area with the road. Three wide longitudinal channels with smaller transverse branches cope with a large volume of water, improving grip on wet surfaces, which prevents uncontrolled aquaplaning even at a decent speed.

Owners who use the Dunlop AT3 for everyday driving are satisfied with the quality of traction. Tires demonstrate confident behavior not only on asphalt, but also on unpaved areas. In operation, the rubber is quite quiet, which allows you to feel comfortable on the track.At high speed (150 km / h and above) it begins to “scour” slightly, making further acceleration impractical. Despite the all-season, it makes sense to use these tires for winter trips only in the southern regions of the country, where weather fluctuations are more mild.

This rubber is available in ten versions with a diameter of R16 and R18 - the most popular rim sizes for SUVs. The deep self-cleaning tread proved to be excellent in overcoming unpaved directions, mud, rocky and sandy surfaces, and snow. Tires are all-weather, and in all-road conditions can be safely used all year round.

The reinforced steel cord, nylon belt and raw material composition make the rubber not only wear-resistant, but also immune to various shock loads that are inevitable when driving off highways. Owners use Dunlop Grandtrek MT2 tires in a variety of conditions - some ride mainly on asphalt, others exclusively off-road. In the first case, the tires wear out much faster, because. they are quite soft, and the noise and vibration levels are within comfortable limits. On rough terrain, judging by the reviews, the tires do an excellent job with their tasks, demonstrating amazing durability and driving performance.

Rubber has a sporty character, providing good acceleration dynamics and confident high-speed maneuvering. Despite the significant rigidity, the tire works quite quietly, creating comfortable conditions for operation. The absence of transverse sipes reduced rolling resistance. This effect is especially pronounced in sizes with a diameter of R16 and above. The tread pattern is simple and calm, however, it guarantees reliable grip on the summer road. Wide drainage channels allow you to cope with a large amount of liquid in the contact patch, ensuring the stability of the car on wet pavement.

Owners note a fairly strong side part of the tire, as well as tire resistance to wear. Rubber obeys the slightest movement of the steering wheel, does not tend to skid in sharp turns, and is predictable during high-speed entry. The reviews also positively assess the efficiency of the Dunlop LM704, expressed in reduced fuel consumption.

Being inherently a sports tire, Dunlop Sport Max RT in our review is in this category of tires.The amount of noise during the operation of the wheel is 67 dB, which corresponds to a comfortable level of acoustic vibrations. It is quite soft, easily absorbs shock from joints and small bumps in the road. This effect is especially noticeable on large tire sizes, with diameters from R17 to R22. Despite the softness, the rubber adequately responds to control, does not “float” in corners and is stable on the track.

Owners appreciate the capabilities of these tires. The reviews note the high comfort of maneuvering, a short braking distance. Despite the softness, it wears out rather slowly. When driving, it should be borne in mind that the tires have a low profile - after hitting the pits at high speed, there may be side hernias.

The tire can be used on different car models - more than 120 size positions, including modifications for medium (tires with a diameter of R15, R16) and premium (R17 - R19) classes. Despite the absence of spikes, rubber has good grip on icy surfaces.Amazing efficiency was achieved thanks to a significant increase in the sipes on the working part of the tire, as well as the technology for preparing raw materials 4D-Nano-Design with the addition of silicon dioxide and plant mass.

The owners are very pleased with their choice - Dunlop WM02 showed confident maneuvering and a short braking distance on ice. In corners, it holds so tenaciously, as if the car is following a guide. Also, the reviews note a rather high wear resistance and puncture resistance, despite the fact that the rubber is soft and quieter than conventional winter tires. Of the shortcomings, there is a slight deterioration in performance when the temperature drops below 20 ° C of frost.

One of the best tires for winter riding, it has excellent traction and low noise levels despite the 22 rows of studs. The steel tip is made in the form of a triangular rod with truncated edges. This configuration allows you to literally "bite" into the ice surface and provide excellent cross-country ability. The directionality of the tread and the higher content of silica in the working layer increases stability on asphalt and confident grip on snow crust.

Owners rightly consider Dunlop Ice Touch tires to be the best purchase that gives a reasonable sense of safety during winter trips. The reviews noted the good handling of rubber, braking is predictable on any surface.The spikes do not interfere with maneuvering on bare asphalt, and the rigidity achieved with the help of dynamic bridges between the blocks has improved traction and increased wear resistance.

An excellent choice for cars in the SUV category. The model has a directional pattern and spikes, which provides excellent handling and reliable grip on winter roads. Several features in tread design enhance tire performance:

• Jumpers between the tread blocks (stability when maneuvering);
• The tread blocks are equipped with chamfers (increased patency on loose snow);
• Wide grooves for drainage and snow sludge, as well as volumetric Miura-Ori sipes (confident grip on any surface);
• Special spike configuration with reinforced base.

The most running in the size range are tires with an inner diameter of R16 - R18. Owners, as a rule, are satisfied with their choice - tires provide comfortable movement in conditions not only in the city. The reliability of the spikes is noted - with proper operation, they cannot be lost. In addition, numerous reviews indicate excellent tire wear resistance - with the usual intensity of city trips, they will be able to serve their owner for 4-5 winter seasons.

The tire is designed for cars of medium and economy classes (R16 is the largest diameter in dimensional modifications), has an affordable price and good performance. The behavior of rubber is predictable, it confidently holds turns, does not break into a skid, but smoothly leaves, allowing the driver to control the situation to the extent of his abilities.

The reviews note the excessive rigidity of the tire, however, it is thanks to this characteristic that the rubber has a pronounced sporting effect - maneuvering accuracy and stable cornering behavior. The high wear resistance is also positively evaluated. Many consider the noisy tread to be a disadvantage, although the manufacturer has never positioned the Dunlop SP Touring T1 as a comfortable tire.

This summer tire combines the characteristic features of a sports tyre, with an energy efficient tyre. The base compound contains a high percentage of silica for better performance and longer life, while the seamless layered winding technology provides rigidity and stability.Equally important is the aggressive sports-type tread - rubber provides precise control, excellent road holding, low susceptibility to aquaplaning and a short braking distance.

Owner reviews using Dunlop Direzza tires note reduced fuel consumption, confident maneuvering, and slip resistance in high-speed tight corners. Separate praise deserves effective braking, thanks to which the driver already after the first kilometers understands the behavior of the tire, and can afford a more aggressive driving style. A very durable sidewall endures impacts, hernias and punctures for this rubber - a rarity.

Great summer tire for aggressive road riding. Allows the owner to enjoy precise handling, good acceleration dynamics and stability on dry and wet roads. The peculiarity of the tire lies in the fact that steel strips are used as the tire cord, which prevent small punctures and give rigidity to the entire structure.

In the reviews, the owners rate the performance of the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx well. After the first introductory kilometers of run, many had a need to drive more actively. The reason for this is confident grip on summer roads and cornering at high speed, predictable short braking distances. Among the shortcomings are the rather noisy operation of the wheel at air temperatures below 20 ° C, as well as the inappropriate use of tires in measured and leisurely driving in city traffic.
