Description of Car tires Dunlop Winter Maxx SJ8 265/65 R17 112R

The Dunlop Winter Maxx SJ8 tire is recognizable by its massive tread blocks. They are designed for deep, loose snow, special climatic regions. The side sipes are marked with a snowflake, which additionally indicates the special purpose of the tire. Asymmetrical tread pattern, triangular core, deep tread fit for water absorption and evacuation. Which increases stability on asphalt, reduces hydroplaning. Toughened side sipes prevent the tread from breaking on uneven surfaces and protect against uneven wear. Winter studless tire Dunlop Winter Maxx SJ8 is one of the novelties of the world-famous Brit...

There are several shortcomings, but, it corresponds to the norm.

This rubber went along with the car (the car is 19 years old, and the tires are also 19, so they obviously bought it at the same time). Before that, I had experience with different manufacturers of winter tires - Hankook, Toyo, Continental, Nokian, but I encountered Dunlop for the first time. The last tire before that was Nordman 7, first of all, of course, I compare it with it. It was interesting how it would turn out. I have a retired driving style, I usually do not rush anywhere. I have…

Pros
  • relatively soft, quiet compared to spikes, behaves well on asphalt, including frostbite, also a definite plus of wear resistance, also of course a plus that you can change shoes later in the spring, and earlier in the fall, this is not a spike, so you can avoid seasonal queues at tire fitting shops not difficult
Cons
  • slows down on a snow crust very mediocre, in the city the same thing - the ABS is constantly working. On a snowy and icy track, the trajectory is held very uncertainly, the car floats, there is no confidence in corners. Anti-skid often works even on normal acceleration, without any sneakers on the floor. strongly dislikes porridge and loose snow, the tread is washed out, the trajectory becomes completely unpredictable. A couple of times I got stuck in small pits in winter, the car rowed helplessly with all 4 wheels, there was not enough rubber grip.

Not the best quality, but overall not bad.

Auto TOY-200, there are a lot of reviews, but this year I took a hapelita, it has already been tested for years, but it is a little expensive. Yes, and I took it wider than 285 \ 50 \ 20, I will try, compare, I don’t leave this one for sale. Pros below: Soft, in severe frost does not tan, very resistant to wear, holds in corners, but not confidently. Has cons: I have repeatedly squeezed everything I have, you can’t stick a needle: at night it’s frosty, light snow, the equipment didn’t have time

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

A couple of times I got into the pits, I thought the end of the disk and the wheel was going to happen. But no - everything is even and the tires are without hernias and the disks are intact. Stands on Infiniti QX. Very satisfied. Some pros: Very low noise level. Easily boarded, minimum balancing. Excellent road holding. It was not possible to brake on ice in such a warm winter in the Central Federal District. Wet handling is excellent. It doesn't get thrown out of a rut. The joints on the Hong

I am satisfied with everything, the product corresponds to the description.

Size 225/65/17. When traveling on smooth asphalt, there is a rumbling; however, I find that it is easy for me to ignore (here, the issue is more one of loudness). And as for the rest, the rubber is fairly good: rowing in the snow and porridge, "sticks" on the ice, and the view after the run is quite deserving and liquid.

Pros
  • After 12,000 kilometers traveled throughout the course of the season, the tires are VERY soft.
Cons
  • When applying slightly more force than normal to the brakes, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) activates more frequently.

It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

A Lexus had it installed the year before. Selected on the basis of other customers' experiences and the cost, our expectations were more than met. They had approximately 12 kilometers run on them. resistant to wear and tear: I've been using it for two seasons already, and the wear is less than twenty percent. tread that is both thick and wide. The control on the ice, including a nice start and stop, was something that I enjoyed. It does a good job of keeping the road in place during snowstorms…

Pros
  • Performs admirably on snow and ice and has an excellent depth projector.
Cons
  • Did not reveal

The perfect product for any user!

It is labeled as winter when sold in retailers. I don't have to switch my shoes for any season because I can wear them. Rides with complete assurance on the simple damp off-road. The phrase "following the tractor" now refers to anything that is a little further away:). It was superior to both Toyo and Bridgestone in my opinion.

High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

Hong Kong. +9 outdoors. The roads have been irrigated in certain areas, despite the dry weather. On the first day of installation, I drove approximately 50 to 60 kilometers. Auto crossover, 225/60/17. The first thing that struck me about switching to winter tires from summer ones was that I did not detect a difference in the ride quality. Even when driving on wet roads, the vehicle is quiet and has the handling of summer tires. Experimented with both a rapid start and a sudden stop. ABS was…

Pros
  • The pricing is reasonable, the quality is excellent, and the company and its products are reliable.
Cons
  • Not yet known to the public

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

With its positives being: 1. Braking, acceleration, and demolition are all effective when performed on bare ice. Brakes are working quite properly everywhere. 2. When there is a frost during a snowstorm, they have a wonderful time since the snow is crisp, fresh, and loose. 3. Driving through deep snow on the entire trip from Honda is not an issue either. 4. The anti-icing soap that is placed on city highways is a fantastic idea. With its cons including rolled snow, dense snow on the road, and…

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…

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.

Excellent product, the best quality.

Size 235/60/16. Drove 3 winters ~ 60,000 km. Wear 4 mm/ (see photo for reference). Sharp corners are not a work of fiction. Because the tread becomes smooth as the wheel turns, the initial grip is not very good (this is due to the fact that the tread is smooth). When you are driving in the opposite direction, the lamellae will rise and adhere to your palm; this is one of the reasons why the brakes is so good. They are not unhappy despite being in a rut. At first, they make an effort to break…

Pros
  • Outstanding braking performance on compacted snow, asphalt, and even dry ice; Noise that is soft and low-key; Not likely to hydroplane at speeds up to 120 kilometers per hour; Outstanding ability to hold the road; They are comfortable in temperatures ranging from -43 degrees Celsius to +5 degrees South; Being sufficiently hardy and resistant to abrasion; When they go from a warm garage to the cold, their possessions are not destroyed in any way.
Cons
  • a lack of traction in the event of vigorous acceleration on a slick road; Even vigorous pumping and going faster than the speed index is not tolerated by them. In loose snow, driving nonstop is the sole option for those without all-wheel drive;

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

Has some pros: very peaceful, following summer pirelli scorpion - a feeling of much greater tranquility. took 225/65/r17 With these drawbacks: Rolling occurs during maneuvering due to the soft sidewall (maybe it will be better on a low profile). a delicate composition with a low resistance to wear

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

Rubber is content with the current range of its price. You will get many years of reliable service out of Japanese rubber. Skating on a full drive for 12 years with only 70% wear was no problem for an earlier model of the same Velcro by the same brand. Has pros: Rubber that is both gentle and quiet. Excellent braking performance on ice, comparable to that of spikes. We were pleasantly surprised by the significantly lesser amount of petrol that we consumed. Despite the fact that it appeared to…

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

Over the past three months, I've been doing Dunlop, and the runs are fantastic. I couldn't be happier with my buy. The tire has a very quiet ride, which is even quieter than a summer tire, and it also provides a very comfortable ride by absorbing all of the bumps on the road. The tread, which consists of huge blocks and a large number of lamellae, rows the contact patch precisely and clears away snow and water masses. very stable, given the high visibility that my size requires. The sidewall is

Pros
  • Comfort, good grip, tread performance, acoustic comfort, tight sidewalls, and Japanese manufacturing are all features of this tire.
Cons
  • No

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

brakes on rolled snow (at traffic signals) perfectly, on ice it is very worthy, but the ABS will only operate if the pedal is pressed all the way to the bottom. Always confidently braked, although winters in the Urals are snowy and often ice. Always confidently braked. Rubber is incredibly smooth and quiet to the touch. I am content with the whole thing. I put this tire on a Nissan Pathfinder for two seasons and found that I was always quite confident when driving on snow and ice. I frequently…

Pros
  • new model, produced in Japan. Very quiet, good braking performance on rolled snow, and magkaya.
Cons
  • did not reveal

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

The best tires available for the price. You are able to drive with ease throughout the winter, but there is no need to switch it on at all because it is made of soft rubber during the winter. Performs exceptionally well with rolled snow, as well as snow that has been rowed. It is best to slow down before entering puddles because the vehicle does not appreciate being in the water. Throughout the entire winter, it makes an excellent showing both in the city and in the region. If you do not…

Pros
  • It snows heavily and the snow is able to adhere nicely to the rolled hills.
Cons
  • However, this is very understandable

It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

In extreme speed and braking modes, handling was not tested. Different pros: Very quiet! It goes well in snow and porridge. Snow handling is good. I went uphill on snow-ice on a country road very confidently, but it is possible that this refers more to the merits of the Subaru Forester. For a quiet everyday driving is very good. Has some cons: On ice, it slows down to C grade. On fresh snow on the pavement in a turn, it was blown away a couple of times. But there is nothing to compare with - it

Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

Do not believe the trolling reviews with a rating of "2"! This is trolling! Either people write reviews without looking at the exact index of the tire model. This particular model (Dunlop Winter Maxx SJ8) definitely cannot be blamed for poor braking performance. I drive a crossover in Hong Kong and its environs quite "actively" and quite satisfied. Before that, I used Nokian WR tires - compared to them, everything has become much better in every way. Here they were tin. Those who like to drive…

Pros
  • 1) Allow you to drive normally (including braking) in all autumn-winter conditions. Only on a layer of lubricant from snow on ice they hold poorly like all non-studded ones. 2) Very quiet. This becomes noticeable when there were loud ones before. ;-)
Cons
  • In the worst conditions - on a layer of lubricant from snow on ice - it is worth playing it safe, slowing down when cornering, even on gentle arcs. Side drift is strong. Perhaps this is a consequence of insufficient lateral stability in such conditions. But if you test non-studded competitors in the same conditions, then they are unlikely to be better. On the Nokian WR, I had about the same thing.

Upset and disappointed, product is very bad!

I will write an objective review in a couple of weeks ! Good luck to all ! The summer has passed and the winter of 2022-2022 has set all the ESTIMATES! AUTO - KRUZAK 200 OBJECTIVE: 1 - on our road surface filled with shampoo, at a temp. 0 2C, very dangerous! For yourself and those around you (including pedestrians on zebra!). DO NOT BRAKES! ABC ONLY! IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED! 2 - At sub-zero temperatures, it is not suitable for operation on any surfaces . 3 - Spring…

Pros
  • Good directional stability, very quiet ! , well balanced, soft (at 0 2C) After 10 months of operation, I confirm: - very soft and quiet - good directional stability on dry and wet surfaces - on a dirt road, with a boat, off-road, etc. , no complaints
Cons
  • It seemed to be a very long braking distance (ABS chirped where two hours earlier, on NOKIA it played tricks, but without ABS). Due to this, I was very worried. see DISCUSSIONS. Operated 1 hour 5 minutes. - the road from the tire shop to the cottage (55 km.) Disadvantage I CONFIRM ! The first months of winter operation completely convinced me that this rubber is not for the RUSSIAN winter . ! Only SUMMER, AUTUMN (positive) and SPRING !

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

I have been using tires for 6 years. Rubber twice went from Hong Kong to the Urals (that is, with long continuous hauls). Car - Mitsubishi Outlander 3rd. Tire mileage is about 70-80 thousand. At the same time, I didn’t change my shoes for summer shoes for two years, as I went to places with difficult road conditions (hard to pass, hunting, etc.). Rubber showed very good qualities in all respects. BUT: I will partially support, perhaps, in terms of behavior at temperatures above 5 degrees…

Pros
  • It provides good dynamics of the car (for some reason I especially liked it in the temperature range from 0 to + 7-10), patency and controllability, including on packed snow, soft asphalt, water, medium-weight mud. On bare ice, the car starts, runs and brakes normally at NORMAL speed (if you fly like., no rubber will be good). very durable, low noise, perfectly balanced. Subjectively - a beautiful tread pattern))
Cons
  • no critical ones identified
