Tyre reviews Dunlop GrandTrek Ice 02. Page 3 396

Installed Dunlop GrandTrek Ice 02 245/65 R17 111T XL, which has already been driven for 2500 km, and the noise has disappeared (as much as can be expected from studded tires). Only positive feedback, previously, M+S tires were used during winter - I won't say a word against them, now only positive feedback, tried to drift on a snowy surface - one could say it didn't happen, and that was on an empty pickup truck

Downsides:
- rides stiffly over joints, makes a lot of noise on low speeds, but much quieter than the same HPLT 8 ( waiting for the break-in period, it might get even quieter),
- heavy for its size.
Upsides: no complaints about on-road performance on different surfaces, in the previous season I drove on Goodyear Ice Arctic, this Dunlop does not lag behind.

Satisfied with the tires! After a short run on urban ice, I can confidently say that I made the right choice. After 500km of break-in, the rumble went away, apparently, it had worn in. On the asphalt covered with ice, the car drives and brakes confidently. I haven't tested on snowdrifts yet, but I'm hoping the tires won't let me down.

Installation (205/70R15) : weight of the balancer 15-35 g.
During one season (November - April) of operation: low-speed driving at a pressure of 0.2 kg/ cm 2 lower than the recommended, speed - no more than 120 km/h on roads in St. Petersburg and Pskov Region without sharp starts and braking "to the limit", mileage - 8,000 km.
When changing to the

Runs well on a very good balance, no more than 70 grams on each wheel. Predictably and comfortably behaves on any cover. So far, I haven't found any drawbacks to this tire. I don't regret choosing this tire!

A bit noisy, but within comfort limits, which is great given the tread design. Soft, grip well, and smoothly exit the road markings. I'm satisfied, optimal price-quality. I drive on the New Riga highway, up to 140 km/h (so far without snow) confidently holding the road. After 4000 km, I don't see any wear, all studs are in place. The only drawback is that one of the four tires was not balanced, rather, it bounced

I've never used tires from this brand before. There are few options in this segment, so I chose this model. No regrets so far. On dry asphalt it howls and brakes poorly. Its element is snow-covered asphalt, ice. As soon as you hit these roads, the cabin falls silent, you can drive smoothly and brake. I wouldn't recommend this tire for a megacity, where the roads are always scoured to the asphalt. It's balanced for minimal cargo weight.

I liked the tire, they hold the road well in curves, good braking grip
in winter forest they're doing very well, no studs have fallen off during the season
on water they behave, in my opinion, worse than the Hakkapeliitta 5.

The first 300 km (break-in) made an awful noise, like a helicopter. Now it's much quieter. The tyres are pleasing, predictable, and the price-quality ratio is a pleasant surprise. Bought in size 225-65 R 16, the price in early September was 5761 rubles. Would I buy now? Unconditionally: yes.

He was chosen for the aggressive tread, which performs like a tank in snow and mud. It almost never gets clogged. It also starts well on ice. It's noisy, of course. The balance was set to 25 g on average. After 2 seasons, all the studs are still in place.
