Review on Car tires Dunlop Winter Maxx SJ8 265/65 R17 112R by Mateusz Bana ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

Prior to purchasing these tires, I routinely switched my summer and winter tires, and during the winter months, I always used studded tires to ensure "reliable braking." However, I surprised my wife by buying her a winter Dunlop SJ6-equipped Land Rover Freelander. The previous owner used the vehicle throughout the entire year. And I was taken aback when I discovered that these tires perform no worse in the winter than my studded Nokian Hakka 8 in any and all situations, and that they are also very comfortable in the summer. After that, I made the decision to get rid of my hemorrhoids by switching to seasonal tires. I searched for new Dunlop SJ8 tires during the summer and found some at a good price. I installed them on my car, and I've been experiencing high for the past two years. During this time, the vehicle has traveled approximately 30,000 kilometers, and the tread depth has been worn down to approximately 3 millimeters; this is sufficient for at least another two years. The only way the tires paid for themselves was through savings on tire fitting and seasonal storage costs (I have expenses like this that amount to 14,000 year and 7,000 seasonally). These tires are part of a series that was set up five years ago and then forgotten about.

Pros
  • The perfect all-season tire for all kinds of weather. Very quiet. These wheels have been year-round fixtures on my Range Rover Sport for the past two years, in both the cold and the heat. I do a lot of traveling within Hong Kong as well as between the cities within Hong Kong. I hardly notice any difference between driving in the winter and driving in the summer because it firmly maintains its grip on the road and slows down regardless of whether it is driving on new, loose snow, packed snow at intersections, or ice. Never got stuck in snowdrifts, and the anti-lock brakes worked only occasionally when I applied them. It goes without saying that the manner in which you drive should be appropriate for the current weather. Summer is also enjoyable regardless of the weather. They do not get wet when it rains since their bodies are able to perfectly drain water. They perform similarly to typical summer tires in terms of their grip on the road when it is hot. I have not experienced any of the more extreme driving modes, such as cornering in a serpentine pattern at a speed of 120 miles per hour or drifting, so I can only speak to how conducive the car is to a comfortable ride rather than annealing. During the summer, I don't observe any signs of wear and tear. In either the winter or the summer, they hardly ever make any noise at all.
Cons
  • There is not a single one of them in comparison to those who have prior expertise riding! I rode on several different top brands of tires, including Nokian, Dunlop, and Bridgestone; here, they occasionally jammed into each other. Some of them were loud, others didn't hold the road well, and the car had to be "caught" and taxied on bumps and in the slightest rut, and others were very thin; they punctured the sidewalls twice a season on not the greatest bumps, so I had to buy new tires and pay for tire fitting. Overall, I had to spend a lot of money on new tires and tire fitting. Nothing of the sort can be said about these tires; they excel in every category that I look for in a pair of tires, including being quiet (!), having superb driving performance, and being long-lasting.
