    Opinion from outside IE

    I drive about 35 thousand miles a year on my car regardless of the road conditions so I necessarily need good tyres. Up to now I mainly used products of highest brands like Michelin, Pirelli and Goodyear. I need to add that I an aggressive driving style. In the case of Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT tyres, I decided to buy them since the tyres have very good reviews and even the price is tinteresting in relation to the above mentioned brands. I am not disappointed, and indeed I am very much pleased with my choice. When the winter seasons will come I’m going to buy tyres of the same manufacturer, Dunlop of course. Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT tyres are very quiet, the grip is good on cornering, on wet and dry roads. Very well water drainage. Very important element for me is a tread wear and for now it is really ok. Visually, it looks great, I think that the tread pattern is suitable for either sports cars and limousines. I would recommend - a great compromise between quality and price. Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside IE

    Generally speaking Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT tyres are worth recommending. First of all, no run-out, no vibrations. I had no problems with fitting or balancing. I can say that the grip is amazing both on dry and wet surfaces. Even when I drive my car in the rain using Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT tyres there was no skids, skewing or even shaking of the steering wheel. Faster and irregular tyre wear? No with these tyres! :) I’m aware of the fact that my opinion is so good that some of the reader may not believe me. But I simply checked the tyres before I bought them and that’s why I’m so sure of my choice and so satisfied. Before I purchased Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT tyres, I compared prices, I thought about my needs. I also searched the Internet and read many opinions of other customers as well as many rankings and tyre test. After all that I’m pretty sure what I’m saying. Summing up, the tyres very much recommend, I would buy them again and I will be recommending them to my friends Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside IE

    I am very positively surprised by Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT tyres. I confess that I already used Dunlop in the past so I had pretty high requirements. The tyres are relatively quiet in my car. They look very good – they also work great with rim protective function. After about 50 miles in different conditions, I can responsibly say that the behaviour on wet surfaces is sensational. I can easily control the car even with my dynamic driving in the pouring rain. I did not feel so confident earlier using different tyres. Grip on dry roads is simply amazing. I drove the motorway during storm with a high speed and the car was still stable. Strong blast of wind from outside noise barriers made the car move a little but the steering wheel did not move at all and the driving direction was the same. There are definitely some disadvantages, however, I would say the tyres are worth buying anyway. Generally, I recommend Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT tyres with a clear conscience. Read more Collapse

    These tyres are excellent - the low rolling noise is particularly noteworthy. I had Kumhos previously that suffered from sawtoothing (A feature of the tyre wear and not car alignment), so it was a night and day difference. Grip in the dry is as good as or better than any other tyres I've used. The wet grip is exceptional - certainly a match for tyres costing a lot more. I do a lot of 100 km/h driving with no traffic on badly surfaced twisty Irish roads, so the cornering performance gets pushed as I can hold my speed on the bends when not being slowed by traffic. This tyre has given no surprises in 15 000 km so far as the grip limit is past anything I'm willing to push it to on a public road. the tyre extends enough past the edges of my alloys that they don't get scratched the odd time I hit something unexpected too. Get a 92 or 94 load rating for the Skoda Superb, the more commonly available 91 isn't high enough. Read more Collapse

    Opinion from outside IE

    I bought Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT in April for my BMW E39 530d. The tyres are great! Braking on dry and wet is phenomenal. I realized it when I started braking on the road in the rain in front of the lights. The driver, who was some distance behind me definitely had much more braking distance. I felt safe during this situation. I did not expect such a braking force in the rain. During cornering the tyres behave the way driver is able to predict everything. I didn’t have any problems with losing a grip on dry or wet and, like I already said, during braking. As to the fuel consumption, it also seems to me to be the most acceptable, even though I had read some opinions about a fairly rapid tread wear. I cannot confirm such opinions! I know what I’m saying cause I use the tyres a lot and my driving can be abnormally aggressive. I honestly recommend you Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT tyres as in my opinion they are fantastic.

Technical description: The Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT is the successor to the Sport Maxx TT model. It is noted for its improved braking and going round corners and, thanks to the use of an innovative compound, the car reacts faster to steering movements. The tyre's excellent stability when negotiating corners and moving at high speed is down to its massive side wall. The system of tread grooves effectively disperses water and protects against the risk of aquaplaning.

The model is made using a special sporty compound, which helps the tyre adapt to different types of surface. The even distribution of material and the aerodynamic side of the tyre reduce rolling resistance, resulting in lower fuel consumption and a reduction in CO2 emissions.

The designers have also managed to ensure optimal performance from the tyre thanks to its construction using Racing technology, which increases driving comfort and ensures a greater level of safety and better driving precision compared with other tyres of the same class. The car also reacts extremely well to even the most minor steering corrections, thus improving driving stability and making the driving experience genuinely enjoyable.

The Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT is installed as an original part in the Mercedes C63 AMG and C63 T.
