Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Dunlop WINTER belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

Great tyre with good grip on compacted snow. Good on wet as well. As I drive electric I appreciate, that Dunlop Winter is very quiet tyre. Great price as well. Set of tyres cost me 250 euros.

★★★★☆

I bought it as a replacement for the Dunlop Winter Sport 5. This tire performs similarly to its predecessor in snow, but is also:
better on dry surfaces,
better on wet surfaces,
much quieter,
slightly more comfortable,
and above all, thanks to the solid blocks on the sides of the tread, it provides really good cornering stability in both dry and wet conditions, despite its soft construction. It's a great tire, unrivaled at this price.
