Ultra High Performance SummerPerformance🏆 Top 3 for dry and wet grip among ultra-high performance summer tires.
Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2
The Bottom Line
The Sport Maxx RT2 is designed for drivers who demand high performance in both dry and wet conditions, with top-tier grip and handling scores. However, the tradeoff comes with comfort and noise, as well as the lack of a treadwear warranty, which may affect long-term value.
Important Note
The absence of a treadwear warranty could lead to higher long-term costs if frequent replacements are needed.
Pros
- Dry grip score of 9 ensures excellent performance on hot, dry roads, making it a solid choice for spirited driving.
- Wet grip also scores a 9, providing confidence in rainy conditions and reducing the risk of hydroplaning.
- Handling response is sharp with a score of 9, giving drivers precise control and feedback during aggressive maneuvers.
Cons
- Comfort score of 6 indicates a stiffer ride, which may be less forgiving on rougher roads compared to competitors like the Yokohama ADVAN Sport.
- Noise level at 6.5 could be intrusive on long drives, especially when compared to quieter options in the segment.
- Lack of a treadwear warranty means potential buyers should be prepared for the possibility of more frequent replacements.
