Summary

Description

The Dunlop Winter Maxx SJ8 is a studless ice and snow tire designed specifically for light trucks and SUVs. This tire excels in harsh winter conditions, providing exceptional grip and stability on icy and snowy roads. Released in 2013, the Winter Maxx SJ8 incorporates advanced technology to ensure safety and performance during the winter months.

Features & Benefits

  • Ice Grip: The Nano-Fit Rubber combines flexibility and rigidity, helping the tread adhere effectively to icy surfaces.
  • Winter Traction: The Maxx Sharp Edge with Miura-Ori sipes offers higher blade density, preventing block distortion and increasing tread-to-ice contact.
  • Winter Performance: Optimized groove patterns enhance grip on snowy surfaces and improve wet condition performance.
  • Increased Sipes: Enhanced lamellization density by 25%, with longer and sharper edges, improving traction on ice by penetrating the water film.
  • T-Grooves: Located in the central tread blocks, these grooves improve longitudinal traction and driver command response.
  • High-Performance Drainage System: Zigzag-shaped longitudinal grooves and transverse channels quickly evacuate water and melted snow, reducing aquaplaning and slushplaning risks.

Year Released

The Dunlop Winter Maxx SJ8 was released in 2013, replacing the Grandtrek SJ7. It features a 11% shorter braking distance on ice compared to its predecessor.
