Dunlop Winter Maxx Studless Snow Tire Black Sidewall

The Dunlop Winter Maxx SJ8 studless snow tire (winter tire) is built for crossovers, SUVs and light trucks that face snow, ice, slush and cold wet roads. It has a black sidewall and does not use studs, so it relies on its tread compound and tread design for grip.

Key Features:

• Nano-Fit silica rubber compound: Stays flexible in low temperatures to help keep traction consistent on cold, icy roads.
• 3D sipes: They add biting edges and more contact with ice. They also interlock to stiffen the tread blocks for better dry handling.
• Directional tread with T-Shape grooves: Helps grip snow and moves water and slush out of the footprint to resist hydroplaning.
• Variable Array tread design: Helps reduce noise for a quieter ride.
• Rounded profile: Supports handling stability and ride comfort.
• Studless construction: Gives winter traction without metal studs.

Winter tires like this one are meant for cold-weather use. They should not be run when temperatures are consistently above 45°F. Drivers who want confident winter traction, wet-road performance and everyday comfort on an SUV or crossover can use the Winter Maxx SJ8 as a dedicated winter tire.
