Dunlop Winter Maxx 2 Review


Touring winter tires come in a wide range of sizes for passenger vehicles and SUVs. These tires combine driving comfort with driving safety to ensure the vehicle’s secure winter weather performance.

Priority Tire stocks various tire models for sale in this category. One such model is Dunlop’s Winter Maxx 2. This model combines excellent winter traction, controllability and high driving comfort levels. In this manner, the tire ensures a safer winter weather driving experience and it guarantees the driver’s full control over the vehicle.

Winter Weather Performance

Winter weather traction

Winter tires utilize their durable compound and tread design to increase the winter weather grip on the road surface. This ensures the winter weather driving safety throughout the tire’s lifetime.

The Winter Maxx 2 combines its asymmetric tread design, which features Dunlop’s special MAXX pattern, and the winter weather traction. The compound keeps the rubber flexibility in colder winter weather temperatures, thanks to the durable winter rubber elements. The asymmetric tread with the high-density siping pattern enhances the grip on the ice- and snow-covered, winter weather road conditions by creating extra biting edges. This combination enables the tire’s excellent winter weather driving safety.

The unique tread design features wide circumferential and lateral grooves. These grooves work together to improve the hydroplaning resistance. Hydroplaning is a dangerous road hazard which happens when water and slush trapped on the road surface cuts off the tires’ surface contact. This causes the vehicle to skid and the driver loses control over the vehicle. This enables the model to improve the wet and winter traction as it actively prevents hydroplaning.

Handling and Controllability

Handling and controllability

Tires need good controllability by enhancing the surface contact throughout the drive. This enables the tire to improve the steering responsiveness and the driving stability.

The Winter Maxx 2 enhances its controllability with the ideal footprint and the stronger construction. The optimal tread design of the flat footprint closely follows the road surface while the tires are in motion. This allows the model to increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. As a result, the tire ensures the driver’s control over the vehicle at all times.

The optimal tread design also improves the maneuvering and braking capabilities. The improves pressure distribution and the optimal shoulder block design work together to enlarge the tire’s surface contact during cornering. In this manner, the tire significantly improves the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, guaranteeing a secure driving experience in versatile winter conditions. This results in the tire’s exceptional cornering ability. On the other hand, the high-density siping detail creates friction between the tire and the road surface. This allows the tire to shorten the braking distance, offering a safer performance.

High Driving Comfort Levels

High driving comfort levels

When it comes to touring tires, high driving comfort levels are a must, even for winter tires. These tires have to minimize the road disturbances felt in the vehicle’s cabin while the tires are in motion. This ensures high comfort levels throughout the tires’ performance.

The Winter Maxx 2 uses its internal structure to minimize the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. The structure’s polyester casing maintains the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting the tire. As a result, the ideal tire shape closely follows the road surface throughout the tire’s performance, which allows the model to absorb the shock of driving. This prevents road vibrations from being created, which allows the tire to improve the driving comfort levels, guaranteeing a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.

Excellent Driving Durability

The Winter Maxx 2’s reinforced polyester casing also improves its durability. The stronger polyester casing maintains the ideal tire shape under the driving and load pressure affecting the model. This casing prevents the tire from deforming under the load and driving pressure, which significantly improves the load capacity and ensures a safer drive. This stronger durability increases the tire’s driving security throughout its performance.
