Dunlop Grandtrek PT5 is set to elevate the SUV highway driving experience for the everyday adventure. The PT5 is the latest addition to the Dunlop Grandtrek range succeeding the popular Grandtrek PT3. Designed especially for the sort of urban SUVs that have garnered widespread popularity throughout the world thanks to their high versatility and stylish appearance, “GRANDTREK PT5” takes on-road driving performance and ride comfort to all-new heights. Available in 25 sizes at launch and featuring open pricing, “GRANDTREK PT5” will first go on sale in Japan on February 1 before subsequently launching in the Middle East, South and Central America, Asia and other regions worldwide.

Features

• A New Profile for Enhanced Steering Stability & Performance on Wet Roads

An updated profile design creates a wider tread, resulting in an 8% increase in contact area during driving compared with our previous “GRANDTREK PT3.” This in turn suppresses vehicle wander to produce a 12% improvement in overall steering stability. In addition, the wider tread also contributes to higher all-around performance when driving on wet road surfaces.

• A New Profile for a Quieter Overall Rid

An updated profile design distributes contact pressure more evenly throughout the tread surface compared with our previous “GRANDTREK PT3,” thereby facilitating the dispersion of shocks and suppressing vibration for a smoother overall ride. At the same time, a rounder contact patch means that contact spreads outward from the tread center, which further lessens impact shocks from the road compared to a square contact patch.

• A Unique Pattern Design for Next-Level Noise Reduction

A new pattern design adopts lateral grooves of varying widths between circumferential grooves in order to suppress resonance noise. At the same time, shoulder lug grooves are approximately 30% narrower compared with the “GRANDTREK PT3,” which serves to reduce the amount of sound escaping through the grooves for lower pattern noise. On top of that, “GRANDTREK PT5” also adopts an asymmetrical pattern featuring lug grooves that do not cut all the way through the intermediate block row on the outer side of the tire, which serves to reduce outward noise radiation.
