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.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union, under CE 1222/2009, has mandated that all tyres manufactured after the date of July 1 2012 for cars and commercial vehicles include standard EU Tyre Labels classifying them by three performance characteristics:fuel efficiency classified from A to G,wet grip classified from A to G, and noise emission in decibels.
Categories of tyres unaffected by this regulation include: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing/sports car tyres, as well as certain types of tyres designed to improve traction such as studded tyres, T-type temporary spare tyres, tyres for cars built before 1990, tyres with a maximum allowed speed of 80km/h, tyres for rims with a diameter less or equal to 254 mm or greater or equal to 635 mm. This label is intended on one hand to promote economic and ecological efficiency in traffic, as well as increase road safety, and on the other hand to help consumers select appropriate tyres by ensuring a certain degree of product transparency.
Nevertheless, the label has been criticized for only showing a very limited number of characteristics. Professionals argue that tyres have many more features that are important and relevant to road safety, including but not limited to aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, product properties on wet and dry roads other than wet grip, properties on snow. Tyre manufacturers suggest that the test results from various institutions and industry magazines should remain a very important source of information for the end consumer, because they focus on and rate a wide variety of tyre properties and features.

23.05.2014fromM S Noel Virtually a snow less winter so unable to fully evaluate the tyres in the scenario for which they were intended.
19.10.2009fromGeorge Unbelievably good in snow. High level of noise and and moderate in dry. A tyre for those who know what they want from
17.02.2009fromJ. 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!
