The winter non-studded tire Dunlop GrandTrek WT M3 is one of the most successful attempts by the world-famous and respected British manufacturer to create the perfect winter tire for powerful high-speed SUVs. This model is released in more than a dozen of the most popular sizes with a landing diameter from 18 to 20 inches and has speed indices H and V, which speaks to its excellent technical characteristics.
This model is equipped with a classic V-shaped directional symmetric tread pattern for high-performance winter tires. The main difference in the design of the tread of this tire is the original design of the central part, namely the single longitudinal rib in this part of the tread. This tread element consists of two rows of separate blocks, differing in an original trapezoidal shape. At the same time, their location relative to each other resembles the letter V. Such a structure of the central part of the tread makes it possible to provide a large contact patch area, the dimensions of which remain constant regardless of the driving mode. Due to this, the Dunlop Grandtrek WT M3 tire demonstrates reliable and stable behavior in any conditions, especially on slippery surfaces. The presence of numerous trapezoidal blocks in the central part of the tread made it possible to provide excellent traction on a slippery surface in all directions due to the numerous sharp edges.
Also, in order to ensure traction on icy and snowy surfaces, numerous S-shaped lamellas are placed on the surface of all tread elements. These lamellas form a multitude of additional sharp edges that effectively pierce the water film, providing more reliable traction even on bare ice.
