Winter Maxx SJ8

Winter weather can cause havoc for many drivers, as ice, snow, and slush can make roads slippery. Fortunately, winter tires are designed to remain flexible in lower temperatures for consistent grip in these conditions, and Dunlop's Winter Maxx SJ8 does that and more for SUV drivers. Higher blade density increases traction in icy conditions, and the Winter Maxx SJ8's Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification means this tire is built to perform in ice, snow, and other challenging winter weather conditions.

Winter tires are built with a flexible rubber compound that allows for consistent grip on roads when the temperature is below 40 degrees. Able to conquer ice, snow, and slush, winter tires are either come in a standard design or they can be pinned with studs to improve grip.

The Dunlop Winter Maxx SJ8 tires are generally well-regarded for their winter performance, offering good traction in snow and ice. They are praised for their value, smooth ride, and potential for long-lasting wear due to deeper tread depth. However, some users experienced issues with traction in very deep snow, particularly with two-wheel drive vehicles. Overall, these tires seem to be a solid choice for winter driving in most conditions.
