Dunlop tire tread model numbers can be found on the tire sidewall. Here is an introduction about automotive tires: 1. Introduction: Automotive tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the vehicle suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation. 2. Function: Ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability; bearing the weight of the vehicle. The important role tires play in vehicles is receiving increasing attention. 3. Origin: In 1895, with the advent of automobiles, pneumatic tires saw widespread development. The first samples of automobile tires appeared in France in 1895, which were single-tube tires made of plain canvas, with tread rubber but no patterns.

I've been driving SUVs for ten years, and Dunlop's off-road tire tread patterns are particularly fascinating. Take the Grandtrek series for example - the tread blocks are huge and deep, with various biting edge designs that grip muddy terrain like shovels when off-roading. On rainy highway drives, you'll notice an abundance of drainage grooves, with four main grooves connected by fine sipes that prevent hydroplaning through standing water. One winter when driving on snow, I observed how the AT3G pattern concealed numerous micro-blades that flex and splay under pressure, dramatically boosting ice traction. Honestly, Dunlop masters 3D tread technology best - their functional zoning features clearly differentiated block patterns, using dense wave-shaped grooves in quiet zones that make speed bumps practically silent.

Just got my ride fitted with four new Dunlop LM705 tires, and the tread pattern is seriously impressive. The central rib pattern looks like a string of connected ribs, providing solid grip during turns; the wide and sturdy shoulder blocks on both sides are perfect for mountain roads. The drainage grooves are designed like branching tree limbs, with the main groove being 9mm wide and auxiliary grooves slanting off to the sides, ensuring water gets whisked away from all directions during heavy rain. I noticed the new tires start with a tread depth of at least 8mm, easily lasting 20,000 km more than regular tires. For those into mods, check out the DZ03 racing tires—their asymmetric pattern features small squares on the inner side, squeezing out every last bit of grip on the track during hard cornering.

I've been researching Dunlop tires for several years, and their tread patterns are meticulously categorized. Performance tires like the SP Sport Maxx use an asymmetric design, with large block patterns on the outer side to enhance cornering grip and fine diagonal grooves on the inner side to improve water drainage. Energy-saving tires such as the Enasave series feature continuous rib patterns to reduce deformation, lowering rolling resistance by 20%. The Veuro series for passenger cars is particularly clever, connecting small tread blocks with 3D interlocking edges, resulting in 3 decibels lower noise at high speeds compared to competitors. Tread patterns also vary by season, with winter tires having dense sipes that maintain grip on ice even when the rubber hardens in sub-zero temperatures.
