Dunlop Winter Tires
Dunlop Tire has introduced the Graspic DS-3, a winter tire that provides excellent traction on snow and good traction on ice. The Graspic DS-3 is a studless tire that suits cars and, for some sizes, SUVs. Dunlop Tire also offers a high-performance winter tire for cars, the SP Winter Sport 3D, and for SUVs, the Grandtrek WT M3. These are ice tires. Thus, these tires offer excellent traction on ice, but their performance will not be as high in heavy snowfalls. Overall, high-performance Dunlop winter tires will be more suited to highway driving than secondary roads.
As for vans, pick-up trucks, 4x4s and jeeps, the Dunlop Grandtrek SJ6 represents an excellent alternative for your traction needs in snowy conditions such as secondary roads.
