Winter Maxx

Winter is right around the corner, and that means lower temperatures, ice, and snow. While some might like the changing temperatures, colder weather and all that comes with it tends to make driving more difficult. Fortunately, winter tires are designed to give drivers extra traction during these colder months. Consider the Winter Maxx from Dunlop, which is designed to give passenger vehicles added grip on icy and snowy roads. A special rubber compound keeps the Winter Maxx flexible at lower temperatures, while wide grooves improve snow traction and wet handling. Featuring a Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, the Winter Maxx has been certified to perform in severe snow conditions.
