Dunlop EconoDrive Winter – a special tire for light commercial vehicles, which is perfect for urban use during the winter period. The model is equipped with a directional tread with a pronounced block structure, which is effective on both dry and icy or snowy road surfaces. It is characterized by stable working properties over a wide temperature range, which was achieved by including special additives in the compound composition.
The tire with a V-shaped tread, the central part of which is occupied by two wide segmented ribs, is distinguished by its effectiveness on slippery and snowy roads. To maintain stability on icy roads, three-dimensional lamellas are provided, forming a multitude of micro-grips. And to cope with snow masses, larger blocks are used, including those in the shoulder area, which compress snow masses and remove them from the contact area through numerous channels.
To increase structural rigidity, special stiffness bridges are provided, which support the shape of the elements under load. This is reflected in the preservation of the contact area and the maintenance of traction characteristics at the same level.
The model has a reinforced carcass, which allows significantly increasing the carrying capacity of the vehicle, minimizing the risk of rupture. To this should be added the use of a compound with an improved composition. The silicon dioxide included in it allows maintaining the elasticity of the tread blocks, preserving their effectiveness over a wide temperature range.
Key features of Dunlop EconoDrive Winter:
- use on light commercial vehicles during the winter period;
- directional symmetric tread with a pronounced block structure, which demonstrates its effectiveness on icy and snowy roads;
- presence of "stiffness bridges" that increase resistance to deformation;
- directional drainage system of the open type, capable of quickly cleaning the contact area, maintaining the effectiveness of traction and grip
