Product description & features

The Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 2 has been developed to deliver enhanced corner grip, combined with shorter braking distances and noticeable steering precision.

The tyre features an asymmetric tread design to improve handling and ensure high levels of aquaplaning resistance. The tyre's tread pattern also features a continuous central rib throughout the tyre. This works to increase reliability, especially on long journeys.

Dunlop have worked hard on the tread design to ensure that the Sport Maxx RT 2 boasts a flatter profile - this creates a bigger contact with the road surface, delivering stability and responsive road feedback.

Sport Maxx RT 2 tyres are available in 17 inch, 18 inch, 19 inch, and 20 inch rim tyre sizes.

Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 Awards & Recognition

The new tyres are okay they still aren't as good in the wet as the Michelin Pilot Sport 4's I had on my previous car. They do the job at the moment however.

I am pleased with the Sport max tyre, it replaced one of the same that had travelled 19,643 miles, 4.5 mm remaining, sadly, the tyre was damaged due to the appalling state of our roads. Hence the replacement.

Far better than the previous tyres I purchased and that’s obviously why the car manufacturer chooses to fit these tyres as standard.
