Product description & features

  • Strong cornering performance
  • Increased steering feedback
  • Short braking distance

The Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 2 has been developed to deliver enhanced corner grip, combined with shorter braking distances and noticeable steering precision.

The tyre features an asymmetric tread design to improve handling and ensure high levels of aquaplaning resistance. The tyre's tread pattern also features a continuous central rib throughout the tyre. This works to increase reliability, especially on long journeys.

Dunlop have worked hard on the tread design to ensure that the Sport Maxx RT 2 boasts a flatter profile - this creates a bigger contact with the road surface, delivering stability and responsive road feedback.

Sport Maxx RT 2 tyres are available in 17 inch, 18 inch, 19 inch, and 20 inch rim tyre sizes.

Really pleased, excellent comfort and grip even in the wet, I would highly recommend certainly for my car and the handling is far improved over another brand which is often used on F1 cars but completely spoiled my car and I had to swap. - Really good wet grip and the handling is back to its original, really pleasant to drive and really responsive to the slightest wheel turn.

Handling still good wet or dry. - Handling is still good in wet or dry and low tyre noise. - Brilliantly. After running in I did the NC500. Total milage from home and back was 1825 miles and never felt unsafe in all weather's and some 'interesting' roads.

Drive great in the wet and same when it’s dry. Tyres last better than the original ones even though the same brand. Good for avoiding curbing, although I do avoid tight awkward spaces. They don’t sound too noisy in fact quieter than the originals too.

Excellent road holding in both wet and dry conditions 👌 - As we haven't had a lot of wet conditions yet I can only comment on handling so far. I'm really pleased with the feeling I get back from cornering.

The tyres perform very well, just as they have in the past. I find they provide good grip in wet conditions and whilst cornering and braking. They also appear to possess reasonable durability and last about as long as other tyres I've used.
