Description Dunlop Arctic M4
The Dunlop Arctic M4 winter tire, presented by the well-known manufacturer from the UK, can be installed on a wide range of medium-sized passenger cars. It is characterized by high efficiency on winter roads, resistance to slush and hydroplaning, long service life, and stable driving properties at various temperature regimes.
The basis of the tread is formed by separate block structures that form a directional pattern of the V-type. It is the directionality that provided the model with increased resistance to skidding and reduced braking distance. To improve stability in icy conditions, studding is provided. Moreover, elements made of a special alloy, which are resistant to wear, were used here. And their reliable fixation in the mounting seats guarantees preservation even when operating the tire on dry asphalt.
Among the features, one can distinguish an open-type drainage system. It densely permeates the entire tread, ensuring rapid removal of moisture, dirt, and slush from the contact area, maintaining the efficiency of acceleration and braking characteristics.
A special compound is used as the rubber mixture, a significant percentage of which is composed of silica. This component has a positive effect not only on maintaining the optimal level of elasticity of the block structures but also reduces their wear. As a result, the tire stands out with an increased operating period, during which a high level of working properties is maintained.
Key features of the Dunlop Arctic M4:
- winter operation on many passenger cars;
- good adaptability to harsh winters, due to the developed block tread and special compound with a significant percentage of silicon dioxide;
- presence of studs that improve the efficiency of passing icy sections;
- highly efficient drainage system, capable of quickly evacuating large volumes of water, slush, and dirt from the contact area, maintaining a high level of traction
