Dunlop 285/60 R18 116V Grandtrek PT5 2024

The Dunlop Grandtrek PT5 285/60 R18 116V is a summer touring tyre designed for SUVs and 4x4 vehicles that spend most of their time on paved roads. This specification combines a wide 285 mm section, 60-series profile and 18-inch rim, providing a substantial road contact area with useful sidewall height for SUV comfort. Load index 116 corresponds to a maximum load of 1,250 kg per tyre, while the V speed rating permits speeds up to 240 km/h. The supplied tyre is identified as 2024 production.

About Dunlop Grandtrek PT5 285/60 R18 116V

The Grandtrek PT5 is a road-focused SUV tyre developed for drivers seeking a balance of handling, wet-road confidence, comfort and everyday durability. The 285/60 R18 size is particularly suited to larger SUVs and 4x4 vehicles where a high load capacity and stable road manners are required. For Dwbtyres customers looking to buy car tyres in UAE, this specification is appropriate for compatible vehicles whose manufacturer-approved fitment calls for 285/60 R18 116V.

Road-oriented tread design

The Grandtrek PT5 features a road-oriented tread pattern developed to maintain stable contact with the road while helping evacuate water through its longitudinal and lateral grooves. Its tread design is aimed primarily at paved-road SUV use rather than severe off-road driving. The broad 285 mm footprint contributes to stable straight-line behaviour and predictable cornering.

Dry-road handling and steering response

The wide tread and 60-series profile provide a balanced combination of directional stability and steering control. Compared with a low-profile performance SUV tyre, the taller sidewall offers additional compliance over uneven road surfaces. The Grandtrek PT5 is therefore better suited to everyday SUV driving, motorway travel and long-distance touring than track-focused applications.

Wet-road performance and braking

The tread layout is designed to help channel water away from the contact patch and maintain grip on wet roads. This supports predictable braking and cornering in rainy conditions. Actual wet braking performance depends on road surface, temperature, tread depth, inflation pressure, vehicle weight and driving conditions, so catalogue characteristics should not be interpreted as guaranteed stopping distances.

Comfort and SUV touring

The 60-series profile provides more sidewall cushioning than lower-profile 18-inch performance tyres, helping the tyre absorb road imperfections and maintain a comfortable ride. This makes the Grandtrek PT5 a practical choice for SUVs used for daily commuting, family travel and highway touring. It remains primarily a road tyre and should not be considered a specialist mud-terrain or rock-crawling product.

High load capacity

The 116 load index gives the tyre a maximum rated load of 1,250 kg per tyre. This high load capacity is particularly relevant to larger SUVs and 4x4 vehicles with substantial kerb weight or passenger and cargo requirements. The V speed rating allows speeds up to 240 km/h when the tyre is correctly fitted and operated within the manufacturer's specified load and inflation limits.

Who should choose the Grandtrek PT5?

The Dunlop Grandtrek PT5 285/60 R18 116V is best suited to compatible SUVs and 4x4 vehicles used predominantly on paved roads. It offers a practical combination of high load capacity, stable handling, wet-road control and everyday comfort. It is less appropriate for demanding off-road use or drivers seeking the sharper steering response of an ultra-high-performance SUV tyre.

The supplied product is identified as 2024 production. Exact EU-label values, country of manufacture, UTQG figures and mileage warranty should be verified from the physical tyre or the applicable market-specific product record because these attributes can vary between markets and production versions. Run-flat construction is not indicated in the supplied product description and should not be assumed without the appropriate sidewall marking.
