Dunlop SportMaxx RT Reviews

Given 70% (breakdown) while driving a BMW 320D (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
This is a comfortable tire. Braking on dry is good. Looks good too. On the negative side is that it is not calm and stable as the Goodyear F1 asy 1. These were my previous tires and they were much better. This tire feels like a normal good tire compared to them, not a high performance sports tire. Also these are noisier even at 100 km/h than the F1 asy. Also on curves - I don't feel them glued and sure footed like my previous. You can't go around obstacles as easy as with my previous. You can't drive so fast and easy especially on less then perfect roads. All in all a good tire, but not from the same class as the goodyear.

I put these tyres on my car recently. I was driving with Pirelli P7 till now. Dunlop SportMaxx RT are very comfortable, with excellent grip on dry road. I have also opportunity to drive them trough rain, and they were very good. No sights of aquaplaning at all, very good at water diversion, with low braking resistance when driving trouhg some splashes. Braking on wet surface is above good. This tyres are very quiet, noise level is on a very good level. Dunlop Boys put out an excellent tyre, but there is one principle minus. WEAR!!!!! Tyre is too soft, okay, for dry asphalt there is plenty of grip, of course for wet road run this soft wear above good, but the durability on hot asphalt? This is the main problem with this tyre for me. I would prefer this tyres with a harder compound.

Given 80% (breakdown) while driving a Volkswagen Golf Mk5 GT TDi 170bhp (225-45-17-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 spirited miles
My initial feelings are that these tyres offer very good levels of grip in the dry, the initial turn in is not that sharp (I went for the 91Y the 94Y may be slightly better) but once turning there is better feel and more communicative adjustability. In the wet, again there are high levels of grip and a relatively better feel, they have slightly higher tendancy to aquaplane than I was expecting but overall a very safe and grippy tyre. One big bonus is that they are very comfortable although this is usually low on my priorities. They are soft so I am not expecting a long life from them.

Driving on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
This are amazing tyres. The grip is great at both dry and wet conditions. I think the sidewalls of this tyres should be stiffer. Im also worried about the wear, the rubber is so soft that probably they will not last long. The overall result is Excelent!

Driving on mostly motorways for 5,000 spirited miles
An amayzing tyre in every sense. Excellent grip on dry & wet road. It has a great progressiveness. Very good comfort and very low rolling resistance. They are quiet (with very low levels of noise) and wear well. So, I think that will last much more than other sports tires. Highly recommended.
