SP Sport MAXX
Maximum grip. Maximum Pleasure.
Get the ultimate drive
You chose your sports car for a very good reason. You're passionate about driving. Your vehicle has been designed to excite... meticulously engineered to perform. Who wouldn't want to enjoy it? Today, advanced car technologies - like active braking, suspension and traction control - promise an exceptional driving experience. But one that's only as exhilarating - and safe - as each tyre's relationship with the road.
You need decisive grip and handling... stability at speed... superior acceleration and braking. The kind of characteristics that racing tyres offer to deliver an ultra high performance edge. Now, with new Dunlop SP Sport Maxx, they're yours.
Drivers know
It takes a lot of motorsport experience to develop high performance tyres. It takes even more commitment to translate that technology onto the road.
Since the 1920's, Dunlop tyres have been taking competition drivers to speeds well over 325kph. Formula One, Le Mans 24 Hour, World Rally, German DTM series, British Touring Car Championship... Dunlop's pedigree is legendary.
The new SP Sport Maxx once again shows our passion for delivering pure driving pleasure through performance.
If you're a true driver, there's no room for compromise. Dunlop is your brand.

SP Sport Maxx : Multi Radius Tread
As evident from the diagram (below), the advantage of MRT technology is that it quite literally results in more of the tyre more of the time being in contact with the road when compared to less advanced systems.
MRT Technology
MRT Technology ensures a homogeneous pressure distribution in the contact patch, whilst simultaneously delivering a larger tyre foot print - delivering superior dry handling, without compromise in the wet. More of the tyre on more of the road more of the time. The new Dunlop SP Sport Maxx...
Twin Hydro-Paddle
The directional tread pattern quickly drains and disperses water from both sides of the tread.
