The Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050 DSST summer tire is standard on the Lexus LS. It is a special version of the model of the same name, designed for the most dynamic versions of midsize passenger cars. It is characterized by exceptional efficiency when driving at high speed, featuring excellent control accuracy and directional stability.
The bus uses DSST technology, Dunlop's proprietary version of RunOnFlat. Its essence lies in the special design of the sidewalls, where special reinforcing elements are used. Thanks to them, the tire retains a significant part of its original profile when punctured, due to which it becomes possible to continue driving. The reinforcing structure is designed for a speed of no more than 80 km / h. At the same time, the reliability of control is maintained during maneuvering and longitudinal acceleration.
The tread pattern has a striking design with large crescent-shaped drainage grooves. Their increased volume and directionality against the movement to a minimum reduce the risk of aquaplaning. The centrally located double longitudinal rib, coupled with rigid shoulder blocks, provides precise handling and directional stability at high speeds. Numerous lateral grooves located along the edges of the tread allow intensive acceleration and deceleration on wet surfaces. The running part of the tread has a special shape. Thanks to it, under load, the contact patch is maximized and remains so even during dynamic maneuvering. This enhances grip and stability, making it easier to drive.
Key Features:
- DSST technology allows you to continue driving with a puncture;
- spectacular tread pattern provides excellent performance in all driving modes;
- a double rib in the middle and a lot of rigid blocks along the edges of the tread provide sporty sharpness in handling and stability at high speed.
The proprietary 4D Nano Design technology, used in almost all the latest developments of the brand, has also found application in the tires. Thanks to it, the engineers were able to achieve excellent "wet" tire performance and steering stability at high speed, as well as to increase the rigidity of the internal structure of the model, as a result of which, when making sharp maneuvers, the tread part of the tire is less deformed.
The tread pattern of this tire contains several longitudinal drainage grooves. With the exception of one located in the shoulder area, they all have a very significant internal volume. This allows the tread to effectively channel virtually any amount of water, thereby preventing aquaplaning from occurring even at high speeds.
Tires are manufactured using modern technologies from high-quality rubber. Electronic control guarantees the stability of the quality of the finished product. The developed tread pattern ensures reliable contact of the tire with the road surface and optimal behavior of the car on the road.
It is worth knowing that Dunlop is a British brand that belongs to the Goodyear concern. Over the years, the company has been producing state-of-the-art tires using the experience gained on the racetrack - Dunlop tires have won a record number of titles in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. The result is the highest quality rubber with the highest performance.
