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.

My first impression of these tyres were that they are very noisy. Driving away from the garage I couldn't believe the amount of road noise. But obviously with time you get used to it. They feel ok driving corners etc. Not sure about the mileage first impressions don't look likely to have great mileage wear. Will go back to Pirrelli when the time comes.

This new tyre from Dunlop is exceptional. The car is noticeably quieter the steering more precise and the braking is outstanding. It is too early to comment on wear / mileage and economy. Overall best tyre I have driven in more than 45-years.

I have these all round. This is the second set I have put on the rears; the first set gave me 20K miles which I think is reasonable for wide low profile tyres when using the performance on a car that is fairly heavy.
