Two New Dunlop 4×4 Tyres For Malaysia

Continental Tyre PJ Malaysia Sdn Bhd (CTM) has debuted two new Dunlop 4×4 tyres – Dunlop RoadTrekker RT5 and Dunlop MaxGrip AT5 for the Malaysian market to meet the growing demands for high performance, durable and all-terrain capable tyres for SUVs, pick-ups and crossover SUVs.

“The Dunlop RoadTrekker RT5 and Dunlop MaxGrip AT5 are the second generation of locally made Dunlop 4×4 tyres since Continental AG came to Malaysia. These new Dunlop 4×4 tyres were designed here in Malaysia for Malaysia road conditions and customer expectations. Incorporating German technology, these tyres are produced in our high-tech plant in Alor Star which is reaching new benchmarks for excellence in quality and process technology.” Said by Mr. Cameron Wilson, Managing Director of CTM during the press conference.

CTM organized a 4×4 driving experience media to test the performance of the Dunlop MaxGrip AT5 in Janda Baik, Pahang. The flag-off was officiated by Mr. Cameron Wilson, Managing Director of CTM and Mr. Sim Wee Chung, National Sales Manager-PLT of Replacement Market Malaysia.

With the optimized tread depth, the Dunlop MaxGrip AT5 offers outstanding mileage performance while maintaining its durability on and off-road. The varied angle zig-zag blade blocks on the Dunlop MaxGrip AT5 are designed for smooth rolling and multi surface traction, creating extra grip and traction on all surfaces with quick mud and stone release. Additionally, its sidewall protection ring enhances sidewall damage protection and sidewall force resistance, making it an outstanding 4×4 tyre that provides extra robustness on all surfaces on and off-road.

Meanwhile, the Dunlop RoadTrekker RT5 provides longer mileage performance with its improved contour concept compared to its predecessor – the Dunlop RoadTrekker RT2. Its innovative part-silica tread compound enables better wet grip and shorter braking distance while enhancing mileage performance. The two dedicated water-flow channels disperses water efficiently, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. Furthermore, the bigger and stiffer blocks in the center and shoulder increase contact with the road, ensuring excellent handling and cornering stability.

The new Dunlop 4×4 lines cover 90% of the 4×4 and pick-up vehicle tyre needs of the Malaysian market. RoadTrekker RT5 sizes range from 15” to 17” and is targeted for the highway-terrain segment, while the MaxGrip AT5 range from 15” to 16” catering to all-terrain needs.

These tyres are now available at CTM dealerships nationwide – BestDrive Continental, Continental, Dunlop Klinikar & Viking Stores.
