VERDICT: With Dunlop鈥檚 engineering and racing heritage, you really can鈥檛 go wrong after selecting the proper tire from their impressive lineup
There are so many Dunlop performance tires on the market, it is nearly impossible to get a handle on them all. We鈥檒l be honest, we haven鈥檛 even tried them all, but choice is a good thing and kudos to Dunlop for offering consumers such a diverse performance line-up. Although the Dunlop Direzzas might seem the most aggressive, Dunlop decided to submit the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT for this evaluation. Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT tires are designed to offer outstanding driver feedback and responsive handling via a highly refined carbon black tread compound technology from Dunlop Motorsport molded into an asymmetric tread design. With high water evacuation grooves and very non-descript appearing shoulder blocks, one might wonder how this tire performs considering its somewhat subtle design cues. Well, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT is a quiet, durable and predictable performance tire geared towards delivering an outstanding luxury-sport ride under almost any conditions (except snow). At high speeds, this tire truly shines thanks to its unique bead designed to enhance high-speed capability and ride quality. The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT performed great and is an ideal choice on any luxury / sport vehicle when it comes to finding a forgiving, consistent and overall balanced ultra high performance tire.
