Product description & features

The ranges of high performance summer tyres, Sport Maxx RT, are designed for providing minimum braking distances when moving at high speeds. Sport Maxx RT tyres include the Short Braking Technology which consists of a tread with blocky pattern featuring moulded blocks at the edge of the tread and providing larger area of the contact with the road in the case of braking. Asymmetrical tread pattern with large blocks at the outer edge of the tread improves stiffness of the tyres while cornering. Centre braking and acceleration are assisted by long rubber pieces and the rear grooves provide for water removal.

The Adaptive Compound of Dunlop is an individual rubber mixture which adjusts according to the driving style and road condition based on the motor sport experience. Sport Maxx RT tyre was replaced with the Sport Maxx RT 2. Max Flange Shield versions of Sport Maxx RT are rubber pieces which protect the rim edges from kerb damage. Dunlop Sport Maxx RT and Max Flange Shield versions of Sport Maxx RT are available at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread, stiff outer blocks
  • Reverse grooves for water dispersal
  • Rim-edge rubber kerb guards

Tyre review for Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 235/40R19 96Y XL
They did well in the snow, provided good grip and were manageable in the rain. No issues so far.

Tyre review for Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 235/40R19 96Y XL
They are doing reasonably well overall. The tread seems to be wearing evenly and grip has improved a lot. My old tyres needed to be replaced because of poor handling during wet conditions and long bends. The situation has made a significant improvement with these Dunlops, and I'm happy to say. As promised, they are also quieter. Soon I'll be getting two more for the back.

There is no question that these are far superior than the tyres which came with the car.

Tyre review for Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 235/40R19 96Y XL
I expected longer wear, so it's surprising the tyres have only worn down to their legal limit after 7000 miles.

Tyre review for Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 235/40R19 96Y XL
No problems, but I expected the road noise to be quieter and the ride to be a bit more relaxing with these new front tyres. However, these are the first low profile tyres I have put on my car.

My travel has been extremely limited over the last several months due to travel restrictions, and I have had the opportunity to experience the tyres in a variety of conditions.
