Automobile rubber Dunlop takes the leading positions in the world market, and there is no such driver who would not be familiar with this brand. Tires are considered one of the best, having won the trust of consumers for a long time by high quality workmanship, reliability and performance. Especially appreciated new development Denovo. This technology allows you to avoid accidents when you puncture the wheel and without any discomfort and fear to drive a flat tire to the nearest workshop.

Products from Dunlop Tires factories located in the USA, Germany and Japan are supplied to Russia, but tires from China and Taiwan can be found. The latter do not withstand any criticism - the marriage of products exceeds 80%, so you should pay special attention to the labeling and the appearance of rubber. Our rating review presents the best tires designed to work in different conditions. The average price specified in the descriptions is calculated for tires with a diameter of R16.

Top Dunlop Offroad Tires

Dunlop tires, which have a long history, are characterized by higher wear resistance and durability, which is of great importance in the off-road tire segment. Below are the best models that can be attributed to the class of All-Terrain.

2 Dunlop Grandtrek AT3

Radial tubeless tire for car category SUV. Performance characteristics are designed for off-road and conventional asphalt pavement. The tread pattern is quite complex, contains multiple elements of different configurations, which provide load distribution over the entire area of ​​contact with the road. Three wide longitudinal channels with transverse branches of smaller section cope with a large volume of water, improving the grip characteristics of interaction with a wet surface, which prevents uncontrolled hydroplaning even at a decent speed.

Owners who use Dunlop AT3 for everyday travel are satisfied with the quality of grip. Tires demonstrate confident behavior not only on asphalt, but also on unpaved areas. In work, the tire is quite quiet, which allows you to feel comfortable on the track. At high speed (150 km / h and above) it starts to “scour” slightly, making further acceleration impractical. Despite the all-season, it makes sense to use these tires for winter trips only in the southern regions of the country, where the weather fluctuations are expressed more gently.

1 Dunlop Grandtrek MT2

This rubber is available in ten versions with a diameter of R16 and R18 - the most popular drive sizes for SUVs. The deep self-cleaning protector perfectly proved in overcoming of the soil directions, dirt, stony and sandy surface, snow. Tires are all-season, and in all-road conditions can be safely used all year round.

Reinforced steel cord, nylon breaker and raw material composition make rubber not only durable, but also resistant to various impact loads, inevitable when driving off-road. Owners use Dunlop Grandtrek MT2 tires in different conditions - some ride mostly on asphalt, others - exclusively on the roads. In the first case, the tires wear much faster, because they are quite soft, and the noise level and vibration are within comfortable limits. On rough terrain, judging by the reviews, tires perfectly cope with the tasks, showing amazing strength and driving performance.

The best comfortable tires Dunlop

To remain the market leader, Dunlop did not for a moment stop developing and searching for new solutions to improve the performance of its tires. Reducing the acoustic effect during the rotation of rubber was possible thanks to a new technology of noise modeling used at the stage of primary development. Also contributes to a more comfortable operation feature of the tread and the composition of the rubber mixture from which the tire is made.

2 Dunlop SP Sport LM704

Rubber has a sporty character, providing good acceleration dynamics and confident speed maneuvering. Despite considerable rigidity, the tire works quietly enough, creating comfortable conditions for operation. The lack of transverse lamellae reduced rolling resistance. This effect is especially pronounced in sizes with a diameter of R16 and above. The tread pattern is simple and quiet, however, guarantees a reliable grip on the summer road. Wide drainage systems allow you to cope with a large volume of fluid in the contact patch, ensuring the stability of the car on wet asphalt.

Owners note a fairly strong side tire, as well as tire resistance to wear. Rubber obey the slightest movement of the steering wheel, on sharp turns does not tend to go into a skid, is predictable at high-speed occurrences. The feedback also positively assesses the cost-effectiveness of the Dunlop LM704, expressed in reducing fuel consumption.

1 Dunlop Sport Maxx RT

Being essentially a sports rubber, “Dunlop Sport Max RT” in our review is in this category of tires. The magnitude of the noise when the wheel is 67 dB, which corresponds to a comfortable level of acoustic vibrations. It is quite soft, easily absorbs blows from the joints and small bumps in the road. This effect is especially noticeable on large tire sizes with diameters from R17 to R22. Despite the softness, the rubber responds adequately to the controls, does not “float” in the corners and is stable on the track.

Owners appreciate the capabilities of these tires. The reviews high comfort maneuvering, short stopping distance. Despite its softness, it wears out rather slowly. When driving, it should be borne in mind that the tires have a low profile - after falling into the pits at high speed there may be lateral hernias.

Dunlop best winter tires

Rubber for winter trips from the company Dunlop has excellent characteristics, which were obtained using the special architecture of tires and modern technological solutions in the preparation of raw materials. In this category you can familiarize yourself with the best winter tires of the company, which are represented on the domestic market.

3 Dunlop Winter Maxx WM02

The tire can be used on different car models - more than 120 dimensional positions, including modifications for the middle (tires with a diameter of R15, R16) and premium (R17 - R19) classes. Despite the lack of spikes, rubber has good adhesion on icy surfaces.A striking efficiency was achieved due to a significant increase in lamellae on the working part of the tire, as well as the technology of preparing raw materials 4D-Nano-Design with the addition of silicon dioxide and vegetable mass.

The owners are very pleased with their choice - “Dunlop WM02” showed confident maneuvering and a short stopping distance on the ice. In turns, holding so tenaciously, as if the car goes on the track. Also in the reviews there is a fairly high wear resistance and puncture resistance, despite the fact that the rubber is soft and works quieter than ordinary winter tires. Among the disadvantages there is a slight deterioration in performance when the temperature drops below 20 ° C frost.

2 Dunlop ice touch

One of the best tires for winter trips, has excellent grip performance and low noise, despite 22 rows of studs. Steel tip is made in the form of a triangular rod with truncated edges. This configuration allows you to literally "bite" into the ice surface and provide excellent permeability. The direction of the tread and a higher content of silica in the working layer increases the stability on asphalt and confident grip on the snow nast.

Owners rightly consider the Dunlop Ice Tach tires as the best acquisition, which gives a reasonable sense of security during winter trips. The reviews noted the good handling of rubber, braking predictable on any surface. The spikes do not interfere with maneuvering on bare asphalt, and the rigidity achieved with the help of dynamic bridges between the blocks, has improved traction characteristics and increased wear resistance.

1 Dunlop Grandtrek Ice02

An excellent choice for cars category SUV. The model has a directional pattern and spike, which provides excellent handling and reliable grip on the winter road. Several features in tread design improve tire performance:

• Jumpers between the tread drafts (stability when maneuvering);
• The tread blocks are equipped with chamfers (increased cross-country through loose snow);
• Wide grooves for drainage and snow slurry, as well as volumetric Miura-Ori lamellas (sure grip on any surface);
• Special spike configuration with reinforced base.

The most popular tires in the size range are tires with an internal diameter of R16 - R18. Owners, as a rule, are satisfied with their choice - tires provide comfortable movement in conditions other than the city. The reliability of spike is noted - with proper operation they can not be lost. In addition, in numerous reviews indicated excellent tire wear resistance - with the usual intensity of urban travel, they can serve its owner 4 - 5 winter season.

Dunlop best sport tires

All tires of this manufacturer have a common distinguishing feature - a good margin of safety, affecting handling and operational life. Dunlop sports tires designed specifically for vigorous driving, provides effective braking and clarity in control. In addition, due to the components of the mixture and the tread structure, the tires have a high balance and satisfactory acoustic properties.

3 Dunlop SP Touring T1

The tire is designed for medium and economy class cars (R16 is the largest diameter in size modifications), has an affordable price and good performance. The behavior of rubber is predictable, it confidently holds turns, it does not break into a skid, but smoothly leaves, allowing the driver to control the situation within the limits of its capabilities.

In the reviews, they note the excessive rigidity of the tire, however, precisely because of this characteristic, the rubber has a pronounced sporting effect - maneuvering accuracy and steady cornering behavior.High resistance to wear is also positively assessed. Many consider the lack of tread work a disadvantage, although the manufacturer has never positioned the Dunlop SP Touring T1 as a comfortable tire.

2 Dunlop Direzza DZ102

This summer tire combines the characteristic properties of a sporty and energy-efficient tire. The base mix contains a high percentage of silica, which provides better performance and longer operating life, and the technology of seamless puff winding gives rigidity and stability. Equally important is the aggressive sport type protector - rubber provides precise control, holds the road well, has a low susceptibility to aquaplaning and a short stopping distance.

Reviews of owners using tires Dunlop Direzza, noted a decrease in fuel consumption, confident maneuvering, resistance to slipping on high-speed sharp turns. Separate praise deserves effective braking, thanks to which the driver already after the first kilometers understands the behavior of the tire, and can afford a more aggressive ride. A very durable sidewall endures punches, hernias and punctures for this rubber - a rarity.

1 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx

Excellent summer tires for aggressive driving on highways. It allows the owner to enjoy control accuracy, good acceleration dynamics and stability on dry and wet roads. The special feature of the tire is that steel tires are used as tire cords, which prevent small punctures and stiffen the whole structure.

In the reviews, the owners are well aware of the characteristics of the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. After the first introductory kilometers, many had the need to drive more actively. The reason for this is a confident grip on the summer road and cornering at high speed, the predicted short stopping distance. Among the drawbacks is quite noisy wheel work at air temperatures below 20 ° C, as well as the inexpediency of using a tire in a measured and unhurried ride in city traffic.
