The Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 is a summer ultra-high performance tire engineered for drivers who demand exceptional handling, precision, and confident control in warm-weather conditions. Selected as original equipment on premium performance vehicles, the Sport Maxx RT2 draws directly from Dunlop's long motorsport heritage to deliver a tire that bridges the gap between spirited enthusiast driving and refined daily use. The Sport Maxx RT2 line is available in a wide range of fitments — including standard passenger car, ROF (Run-On-Flat), and SUV variants — built to match the demands of high-performance sports sedans, coupes, and sport utility vehicles alike.
Advanced Construction Technologies:
- Specific Bead Seat System: Strengthens the tire-to-rim connection for enhanced responsiveness and precise steering feedback
- Jointless Belt Construction: Reduces circumferential deformation at high speeds, promoting improved stability, uniformity, and ride quality
- Multi-Radius Tread Technology: Optimizes the contact patch shape across varying driving conditions, enabling smoother transitions between straight-line driving and cornering
- Dual Silica Compound: Improves acceleration, reduces wear, and enhances grip across a range of warm-weather temperatures
Performance-Focused Tread Design:
- Asymmetric Tread Pattern: Delivers superior wet handling and outstanding resistance to hydroplaning, while large outer shoulder blocks maximize cornering grip and dry stability
- Flatter Tread Profile: Creates a larger contact patch for improved steering feedback, high-speed stability, and more even tread wear over the tire's life
- Power Braking Blocks: Increased block rigidity ensures optimal road contact during hard braking, contributing to shorter stopping distances — especially at high speeds
- Max Flange Shield®: A protective rubber guard extends beyond the rim flange to help defend against curb damage to wheels and lower sidewalls, particularly useful in urban driving environments (available on select fitments)
Noise Shield Technology (NST):
Select fitments feature Dunlop's Noise Shield Technology, which uses variable pitch tread block sequencing to reduce harmonic resonance and lower cabin noise — delivering a more refined driving experience without compromising performance.
Run-On-Flat (ROF) Availability:
Select fitments are available with Run On Flat (ROF) technology, allowing continued mobility after a loss of air pressure so drivers can safely reach a service location without the immediate need for a roadside tire change.
The Sport Maxx RT2 is engineered exclusively for dry and wet warm-weather performance. It is not intended for use in near-freezing temperatures, snow, or winter conditions. For drivers seeking a premium summer tire with OEM-proven credentials, motorsport-derived technology, and confident all-around warm-weather performance, the Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 is an outstanding choice.
