Sport Maxx - the tire of the future, the company's flagship, was developed jointly by Japanese and German engineers within the global Dunlop network.
Directional, multi-radius tire tread combined with dual hydro grooves maximize water drainage from the contact patch. To improve grip on dry roads, a center track has been added, which is responsible for steering precision.
Heading stability is achieved through a flangeless hybrid cage that provides maximum fit and optimal contact patch, regardless of road conditions. The strictest noise standards require the use of the latest technology to reduce by-pass noise. This led to the development of a 5-block tire design with directional changes in the transfer of blocks during rotation - while driving, they create a balance of quietness and ride comfort. All these innovative technologies combine to create truly sporty, high-quality tires that are sure to delight the aggressive driving enthusiast.
The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX tire stands out for its superior performance. This tire is designed for use in sports cars with maximum comfort. When designing this model, the developments used in the manufacture of specialized sports tires were used.
The peculiarity of the tire is the use of Kevlar fiber, located in the zone of the tire landing on the disc. This solution improves sidewall rigidity, tear, tension, and heat resistance, guaranteeing excellent steering control when cornering, fast feedback, and excellent control precision.
The rubber compound contains materials filled with nanoparticles. Nanotechnology applied to the tire has significantly improved braking performance on wet and dry road surfaces, increased elasticity, and wear resistance. Also, when developing the tire, the proprietary MRT technology was used, which has a more rigid structure. The use of this technology helped to optimally distribute the load in the contact zone, and the shape of the tire, when moving the center of gravity, changes more smoothly, which increased handling.
The summer tire Dunlop Sp Sport Maxx has an asymmetric tread, which gives it increased resistance to aquaplaning. The rib located in the center of the tread is responsible for precise handling. Massive shoulder blocks provide confident handling when cornering. The tire will be the perfect addition to any sports car and will provide you with real driving pleasure.
What the tread pattern looks like:
- The drawing is made symmetrically, which is well suited for summer heat, driving on dry and wet roads;
- Dual-type water grooves are responsible for draining fluid from the contact patch and protecting against aquaplaning;
- A hybrid wafer cage provides good stability on any road surface;
- The protector consists of five blocks. The price includes increased comfort and noiselessness of movement.
These are relatively cheap tires for the racing car segment. They perform the main function for driving at high speeds - reliable grip regardless of the quality of the asphalt. This is due to the innovative approach to creating a rubber compound. The manufacturer has added nanosilicon, which allows you to maintain extreme stiffness on a hot surface. The manufacturer compares the strength to diamond. Maneuvering on such tires is as reliable as possible. Wheels instantly respond to steering inputs.
This model uses MRT technology, which is widely used in the production of racing tires. It contributes to an even distribution of pressure in the contact patch and to an increase in the spot size itself. Thanks to these properties, the coefficient of adhesion to the road surface remains constant at various levels of angular acceleration.
Advantages:
- holds the road well, both dry and wet
- price-quality ratio
- braking is very confident
- very strong kevlar sidewall
- braking at altitude
- good directional stability
- affordable price
Disadvantages:
- noisy
- oak
- first rushes into a skid, and then begins to squeal warningly
Maximum controllability
The directional tread pattern with symmetrical hydraulic blades ensures your safety on the wet road. It provides quick drainage of water from the contact patch and thus a high level of aquaplaning resistance and reliable contact with the road. The tire construction uses a hybrid shielding layer with a weave of polyamide and aramid fibers and a steel belt with increased rigidity. This combination provides excellent handling, even on rugged roads.
Acceleration and deceleration
The rubber compound developed for the DUNLOP SP SPORT MAXX tire contains silica and a unique polymer. This combination improves the homogeneity of the mixture and makes the material more elastic and wear-resistant, with strong adhesion under increased load during acceleration and deceleration.
Comfort
The tread has been designed with 5-Pitch technology. Thus, a pattern has been created that increases the level of acoustic comfort. The use of the MFS system (wheel rim protection) provides additional protection of the wheel from damage.
The Dunlop SP Sport Maxx is an impressive performance tire that allows you to ride at high speeds while maintaining safety and without sacrificing driving comfort.
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.
