We have seen trends come and go in the motoring industry over the past century. Early industry moves put cars on the fast track with assembly-line production and the freeway system, creating a driving culture that gives us the freedom to take the road to wherever our heart desires.
Other transformative trends have brought us safe and exhilarating driving, with automated features, comfort and luxury design rounding off the experience.
Lubin Ozoux, CEO of Sumitomo Rubber South Africa, manufacturer of Dunlop, Sumitomo, and Falken tyres, says: "Now road users get to take the aesthetics of their tyres up a notch style-wise without compromising off-road capabilities. The debut of the Grandtrek AT3G 2-ply White Lettering Tyre gives even Mother Nature something to aspire to and affords SUV and 4x4 drivers a chance to score some street cred."
Peace of mind for your tyres
Adventure seekers will now have the freedom to make that spontaneous decision and take the exit off the beaten track to explore off-road, no matter how rough the terrain looks. And they can do so with the full confidence to take the road knowing that their tyres not only look good, but are backed by the only local manufacturer that offers triple protection through Dunlop Sure's 8-year manufacturer's warranty. This includes a free 60 000km Mileage Warranty and a free 12 Month Off-Road Hazard Guarantee for added peace of mind.
Ozoux adds: "The AT3Gs are competitively priced and will hopefully see the trend of painting lettering on tyre sidewalls end, because now drivers can have the real thing. Climbing steep slopes and rocky outcrops, pulling out of muddy riverbeds and heading into the Karoo to enjoy breathtaking views, or driving through a seasonal downpour, no longer need to be daunting with tyres that are guaranteed to heighten your experience and keep you safe on the road, while still looking good."
The AT3G 2-ply WLT features an ultra-wide pattern that increases mileage in high road conditions and a strong sidewall profile, increasing resistance to damage in both on- and off-road conditions. The large block patterns improve impact resistance, while the reinforced steel wire layer structure enhances impact resistance.
