OVERVIEW

The Dunlop Grandtrek SJ6 is a highway and touring, winter tire manufactured for SUVs and passenger vehicles.

The special tread pattern's winter weather road gripping ability is due to the twin snow-packing pillars created by the zigzag grooves. They pack the snow into the grooves which boosts the snow on snow road grip, enabling the tire to perform better in winter conditions. The circumferential grooves increase the cold temperature wet traction by eliminating water and slush from below the tire footprint, effectively preventing dangerous hydroplaning. The ice traction is also enhanced thanks to the glass-fiber reinforced tire compound, increasing the winter weather safety levels.

The special optimized groove distribution and the tread design maintain constant road contact. It closely follows the road surface, which ensures an even distribution of the driving pressure. The better spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking ensure a longer lasting tread life as it prevents irregular tread wear forming across the tread area. The optimized tread area also lowers the road noise heard while the tires are in motion. The tread design channels the road noise through the tire footprint, without letting the soundwaves come into contact with the tread elements, making the drive more comfortable.

The Grandtrek SJ6 offers an easily controllable tire. The consistent contact patch and the optimized mold shape and ply line enhance the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The constant road contact increases the driving stability against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The steering is also quicker and more accurate in its response to the driver's instructions. The zigzag grooves' twin snow-packing pillars improves the braking power. Its enhanced snow on snow traction shortens the braking distance with the upgraded braking ability.
