Key Features:

• Winter-Focused Asymmetric Compound: Features Dunlop's 4D-Nano-Design patented technology, delivering a rubber compound with increased resistance to aging for consistent performance throughout the tire's life
• Advanced Silica Compound: Incorporates biomass materials and silicon dioxide (silica) to maximize grip and handling on ice by conforming to micro-textures on the road surface
• Improved Ice Braking: Delivers up to 20% better traction on ice and reduces braking distance on ice by 12% compared to its predecessor, the WM01
• Enhanced Sipe Density: A 17% increase in the number of sipes creates additional biting edges for superior traction in snow and on ice
• Broader Profile: Wider footprint compared to the WM01 provides more even pressure distribution across the contact patch for improved handling and wear
• Wide Circumferential Grooves & Lateral Notches: Efficiently evacuate water and slush from the contact patch for enhanced hydroplaning resistance
• Functional Polymers: Maintain consistent grip performance throughout the lifespan of the tire
• XL (Extra Load) Rating: Load Range XL with a load index of 96, rated for up to 1,565 lbs per tire at maximum inflation
• Black Sidewall (BSW): Clean, classic black sidewall finish
• 4-Ply Rating: Robust construction for durability and road stability
