The Dunlop Grandtrek SJ6 and SJ5 are SUV tyres designed to perform in extreme winter conditions.
Outstanding winter traction
High aquaplaning resistance
Comfort and stability on all kinds of terrain
Outstanding winter traction. Tackle the most extreme of winter roads head on. The unique Silica Plus compound provides outstanding traction and braking ability on wet and snow covered surfaces. Microscopic studs in the tread ensure a firm grip on ice.
High aquaplaning resistance. The directional tread pattern features six wide circumferential grooves to provide fast and efficient water dispersal.
Low noise. The tread design is optimised to reduce tyre noise levels and promote even wear.
The new Grandtrek SJ6 is a studless tyre designed for winter conditions both on-and off road. Its directional pattern design and 6 wide circumferential grooves deliver excellent water drainage and high aquaplaning resistance. Impressive in extreme winter conditions: Outstanding winter traction, high aquaplaning resistance plus comfort and stability on all kinds of terrain.
Technology (Features):
The large number of blades and the Silica-Plus compound provide better wet performance and traction on snow. A special glass fibre reinforcement of the tread compound with microscopic studs. Optimised blade structure, directional tread pattern, wide grooves for water evacuation and a new silica compound ensure more traction.
High aquaplaning resistance. Grip on dry and wet surfaces in all winter driving conditions ensures firm grip on ice.
Specific bead seat system. Strengthens the link between tyre and rim for a more precise driving experience. Like the grip between your hand and the steering wheel, the Specific Bead Seat System enhances control and conveys outstanding road feedback. Benefits Enhanced road feedback; greater stability and precision.
Silica-Plus Compound. A motorsport derived tread compound that delivers high levels of grip, particularly on wet roads and in low temperatures.Benefits Superb braking and acceleration performance; high grip in wet and cold-weather conditions; low wear and tear.
Consumer benefits:

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

23.05.2014 from M S Noel Virtually a snow less winter so unable to fully evaluate the tyres in the scenario for which they were intended.
19.10.2009 from George Unbelievably good in snow. High level of noise and and moderate in dry. A tyre for those who know what they want from
17.02.2009 from J. Isnor I've never felt so safe/secure in the winter.The Rav is good with all-seasons but these tires have created a Canadian snow-machine!
