The all-season passenger tire Dunlop GrandTrek PT1 is rightly considered one of the most successful attempts by the world-renowned British manufacturer to create an all-weather tire for vehicles with increased passability - SUVs, crossovers, and pickups. This model is produced in seven of the most popular sizes with landing sizes, starting from R15 and ending with R18, which allows us to confidently talk about the wide applicability of this tire.
The tread of this model is equipped with a non-directional symmetric pattern, which is distinguished by a non-trivial S-shaped design. A distinctive feature of the Dunlop Grandtrek PT1 tire is the block structure of the tread pattern. In other words, the tread consists of many separate blocks of various shapes and sizes. At the same time, the blocks are at a slight distance from each other, which indicates not only the possibility of using this tire exclusively on roads with a solid surface but also a very large contact patch area. Due to this, it was possible to ensure excellent traction and high acceleration and braking efficiency on dry surfaces.
In addition, the large number of tread blocks of different shapes and sizes form numerous sharp engagement edges, which provide more reliable traction with a wet surface.
Another characteristic feature of this model is its phenomenal resistance to aquaplaning when moving at very high speeds. Such indicators were achieved thanks to the large number of separate blocks, between which numerous drainage channels pass. At the same time, the water discharge channels located in the shoulder areas of the tread have a curved shape, which contributes to a significant increase in the speed of water circulation. This, in turn, significantly improved the efficiency of the tire's drainage system.
