Dynapro HPX is a premium comfort tire designed for SUVs. The product is an all-season tire and emphasizes handling and braking performance. It also focuses on delivering a comfortable ride and low noise.
The product is marked M+S (Mud+Snow). As a result, it delivers performance across a range of driving conditions, including dry roads, wet roads, and snowy roads, providing stable performance.
To enhance driving performance, the company also applied its 3D GripControl Sipe technology. The technology features a structure that minimizes movement through interlocking sawtooth-shaped blocks. This improves block stiffness, grip, and handling performance.
An all-season compound was used, and the compound's wear resistance was enhanced. It also improved mileage performance by applying a wider contact patch.
Knurling technology was applied inside the grooves, along with an optimized multi-pitch arrangement. This reduced driving noise and further enhanced ride comfort and quietness.
