Product description & features

The Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT2 summer tyre targets high performance in quick steering and braking scenarios. Dunlop’s Dynamic Response Technology allows the SP SportMaxx RT2 to push more rubber onto the tarmac in cornering situations. The tyre’s asymmetric tread features a hard outer shoulder, a stable centre, and a continuous centre section. The braking and grip performance of this tyre on wet and dry tarmac is thanks to Dunlop’s Adaptive Compound, a silica-rich rubber blend.

The SP SportMaxx RT2 is the successor of the SP SportMaxx RT. It’s the latest addition to Dunlop’s performance tyre line-up. The SP SportMaxx RT2 is also available in reinforced XL construction for higher load applications. The Self-supporting RunOnFlat versions allow a vehicle to continue to run on the tyre for a limited distance after losing pressure. At Tyres.co.uk, we offer the SP SportMaxx RT2 and the RunOnFlat versions.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread, hard outer shoulder
  • Silica-rich rubber blend
  • Reinforced XL versions available
  • RunOnFlat versions available

Tyre review for Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT2 245/45R18 100Y XL
Brilliant traction in both wet and dry conditions. They are great at dealing with heavy braking and acceleration. Since the new tyres were fitted, I have had no issues.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT2 245/45R18 100Y XL
They're okay for normal driving, but I wouldn't recommend going to the limit with these tyres. Maybe I will consider Potenzas next time.

Tyre review for Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT2 245/45R18 100Y XL
The tyres take some time to heat up and don't grip the road that well when they are cold. They can be a little noisy as well. However, once they are warmed up, the car corners really well and gives you a lot of confidence to push harder.
