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 255/40R18 99Y XL
Experience has been really bad. For two of the tyres I had blowouts, both had uneaten tread. One of the tyres blew on the sidewall and another had cracks in the tread. I contacted Dunlop on this issue, but no reply. Dunlop will not be my tyre choice again.

While the dry grip of the product is decent, I wouldn't feel confident using it in the wet conditions.
