Dunlop SP Sport Maxx Reviews

These tyres lasted just SEVEN thousand miles on the front of my car until they reached minimum wear on my Saab 93 Sportswagon. I am a careful lady driver, had the wheels tracked and aligned twice in this period and they were nitrogen filled. I drive the car carefully so it will last, but Pirellis have had no trouble giving me 20,000 miles+. Using cruise control, not jamming on the brakes through careless driving, taking corners at a slower speed and avoiding potholes did me no good. Dunlop tested the tyres and found no fault and said it was driver action or an irregularity with the car. Saab who have serviced the car for 3 years sent a letter saying no history of tyre problems with me or the 93, but Kwik Fit are not behaving well about the whole matter. No refund offered for a very unhappy but regular (former) customer, but I will not let this drop as that was £200 I should not have had to spend. The new Pirellis which have replaced them are great - I wish I had never tried another brand and given myself this grief.

Replaced worn old run Dunlop runflats. Engineered in Europe manufactured in China on the sidewall. They were an reasonable improvement in the ride comfort over the worn run flats but in the end I was disappointed with them. Ride was still brutal like they have stone sidewalls. Wear seemed high and uneven, even if the car had tracking done. Grip ok but not much progression and as they wore a bit it deteriorated more than I expected. I would have preferred a softer tyre with more give for primary ride and progressive grip. I once used them in the snow - forget it.

these tyres are generally good for noise and dry weather driving however Ive found them to have very poor wet weather grip especially at the rear end

Considering i got 13K miles from my tyres (front 275/40/20 106w) its not too bad, bearing in mind its mainly done school run with my wife being the main driver. However they are expensive compared to Bridgestone run flat, have been told breaking performance are less responsive in wets, but seriously considering Bridgestones as they are also recommended by BMW.

Excellent tyre on Skoda Octavia Scout, fronts worn at 24,000 and probably have a few more miles before they reach the marker. Drove in snow last year and were good. Would buy again.
