Dunlop Winter Maxx WM02
The Bottom Line
The Winter Maxx WM02 is a solid choice for those prioritizing snow traction on a budget, with a respectable score of 8. However, its lower wet grip and absence of a treadwear warranty are significant tradeoffs, especially compared to options like the Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance+ SUV.
Important Note
Lack of a treadwear warranty and lower wet grip score make it less appealing for those frequently dealing with slushy or rainy winter conditions.
Pros
- Snow traction score of 8 is solid for winter conditions, ensuring reliable performance in snowy environments.
- 3PMSF rating certifies it for severe snow service, adding a layer of assurance for winter driving.
- Handling score of 6.5 is adequate for a winter tire, providing reasonable control in cold weather.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 5.5 is below what you'd want for rainy winter days, potentially leading to compromised safety.
- No treadwear warranty means you'll need to budget for replacements without mileage guarantees.
- The Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance+ SUV offers better overall wet performance, which might be a better choice for mixed conditions.
