Dunlop Sport Maxx RT ( 235/55 R17 99V AO, with rim protection (MFS) )

The Dunlop Sport Maxx RT is a high-performance tyre that has been designed to deliver exceptional grip, enhanced cornering control, and shorter braking distances. This tyre is perfect for sporty driving, thanks to its adaptive compound technology that maximises road contact and provides excellent wet and dry grip.

The SportMaxx RT features a range of innovative technologies that are derived from motorsports, including massive outer shoulder blocks for increased stability and better handling when cornering. The new 'power braking' blocks provide shorter braking distances especially at high speeds, while the low weight construction reduces rolling resistance and lowers fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The tyre's grip on dry roads is unparalleled, thanks to its adaptive compound technology that uses motorsports derived polymers to adapt to the texture of the road surface. This results in superior grip and braking performance. The Specific Bead Seat System strengthens the link between the tyre and rim for a more precise driving experience, providing enhanced road feedback, greater stability, and precision.

The Power Braking Blocks provide shorter braking distances, especially at high speeds, while the Silica-Plus Compound delivers high levels of grip, particularly on wet roads and in low temperatures. The Jointless Belt (JLB) reduces circumferential deformations at high speeds, providing superior high-speed stability. The Maximum Flange Shield (MFS) protects expensive alloy wheels from kerbing.

The Asymmetric Tread Design provides improved handling and aquaplaning resistance, with the continuous center rib increasing stability and precision. The flatter tread profile features a 4-8% bigger contact patch, delivering more stability and enhanced road feedback, allowing tires to respond quickly and precisely.

The Multi Radius Tread (MRT) designs employ ten different radii, providing highly effective pressure deployment on the road contact patch. This results in smoother transitions from straight to corner, leading to more precise and progressive reactions.

The Dual Silica Compound improves acceleration performance and promotes low wear and tear. This tyre is perfect for car enthusiasts who demand exceptional grip, enhanced cornering control, and shorter braking distances.
