Dunlop ATV Tires breaks into aggressive treads with Quadmax, sold at ATVManiacStore.com

Sept. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- ATVManiacStore.com, a United States-based ATV tire, ATV wheel, ATV winch, helmet, accessory and parts retailer, has expanded their line of ATV tires with the addition of Dunlop’s newly-developed line called Quadmax. The Dunlop brand has been around since 1888 and the wide variety of tread patterns available have made the brand a popular choice in the OEM world.

ATVManiacStore.com owner, Mike Taylor, says, “The Quadmax could very-well be the beginning of a new era for Dunlop, in terms of both competition and recreational use.” This tire has a more aggressive tread pattern, flatter profile and larger footprint compared to their OEM styles; which translates to better performance in tougher riding conditions.

Dunlop’s two main goals in developing this tire were:

•   Superior handling in harsh conditions.
•   Excellent mud traction.

They achieved this through:
•   Rigid case angle for a flatter profile while cornering.
•   A five percent larger footprint for increased traction in all conditions.
•   A notable reduction in tire weight – the front Quadmax is nearly two pounds lighter, while the rear is nearly five pounds lighter than a direct competitor.
•   A tread-block shape and pattern that allow for maximum straight-line and cornering ability, as well as mud-gripping traction.
•   An advanced rubber tread compound that extends tread life and provides grip in both wet and dry conditions.
•   Aggressive-looking tread-block design, wrap-around shoulder and sidewall elements.

The Quadmax not only looks tough, but the combination of tread patterns and compounds used in manufacturing makes this tire act tough, too. The Quadmax’s weight reduction over most performance tires reduces unsprung weight (the portion of a vehicle that is not supported by the suspension), which improves handling and acceleration. The construction will give an even, predictable side grip when cornering and a good grip in wet or dry conditions, all while improving the life of the tire’s tread.
