Dunlop launches new Sport Maxx RT2 tyre

Dunlop is launching its new Ultra-High Performance (UHP) summer tyre, the Sport Maxx RT2, the successor of the multi-award winning Sport Maxx RT at the Geneva Motor Show.

Endorsed by the independent TÜV test ordered by Dunlop, the tyre demonstrates excellent grip and handling and delivers faster test track lap times versus its predecessor.

True to the brand’s DNA, the tyre has been developed in line with the “Forever Forward” brand philosophy, which is to create exciting driving experiences. In addition to this, Dunlop’s long racing heritage including winning races in open endurance competitions has been a great resource and inspiration to build the new Sport Maxx RT2.

The tyre is a true expert when it comes down to grip and steering precision according to the independent TÜV Süd Benchmark Test results, making it an excellent tyre for situations that demand performance.

The test resulted in a 1.3 per cent better lap time than the average of four leading competitors on a wet track and 4.1 per cent better dry handling compared to the average of four leading competitors.

The tyre also proved 5.6 per cent better in the wet circle test. Additionally, according to a DEKRA test ordered by Dunlop, the Sport Maxx RT2 delivered 34 per cent better wear performance on the most severe axle, compared to the average of leading competitors.
