Key Benefits

  • Driving precision with Kevlar technology

    Driving precision with Kevlar technology

    The SP SportMaxx TT benefits from DuPont™ Kevlar® technology to bring performance to a higher level. This tough compound creates a stiffer sidewall, leading to improved driving precision. Dunlop Touch Technology ensures high levels of responsiveness and road feedback.

  • Superb handling and cornering

    Superb handling and cornering

    The tread design of the SportMaxx TT manages the pressure across the tyre more effectively, improving handling performance on wet and dry. Smooth transitions from straight to curve give you more time to feel the road and react, even at high speeds. Stiff shoulder blocks add extra stability when cornering.

  • Excellent grip and braking ability

    Excellent grip and braking ability

    Enjoy superior grip and shorter braking on wet and dry, thanks to a unique tread compound containing motorsports derived nanoparticles. The asymmetric groove arrangement enhances grip further, giving you more control at motorway speeds.

Technologies

  • Asymmetric Tread Design

    Asymmetric tread design provides improved handling and aquaplaning resistance. The continuous center rib increases stability and precision. The asymmetric groove arrangement enhances grip on wet and dry surfaces.

    Benefits
    Improved performance on straight lines and around corners; increased resistance to aquaplaning.

  • Flatter tread profile

    The new generation of Dunlop tyres features a flatter tread profile with a 4-8% bigger contact patch, depending on size and type of tyre. A bigger contact patch delivers more stability and enhanced road feedback, allowing tires to respond quickly and precisely.

    Benefits
    Increased stability and steering precision; reduced heel and toe wear; excellent cornering stability and precision; superior dry grip.

  • Multi Blade System

    Winter driving conditions can vary greatly. From cold and dry to snow or sleet, these conditions make very high demands on a tyre. Dunlop’s multiple blade system meets this challenge head on, with different types of blades for varying winter road conditions.

    Benefits
    Consistent performance in various winter conditions.

  • Specific bead seat system

    Strengthens the link between tyre and rim for a more precise driving experience. Like the grip between your hand and the steering wheel, the Specific Bead Seat System enhances control and conveys outstanding road feedback.

    Benefits
    Enhanced road feedback; greater stability and precision.

  • Variable land to sea ratio

    Asymmetric tread design with a variable land to sea ratio delivers high levels of aquaplaning resistance. The massive outer shoulder block ensures rapid and turbulence free water drainage, while also ensuring outstanding cornering stability.

    Benefits
    High aquaplaning resistance; increased road contact; enhanced cornering stability and steering precision.

  • Kevlar® pulp

    Sidewalls reinforced with Kevlar® fiber pulp maintain optimal stiffness under high working temperatures.

    Benefits
    Improved road feedback and driving precision.

  • Maximum Flange Shield (MFS)

    A rim flange protection system. MFS employs a profile of rubber that runs around the circumference of the tyre above the wheel flange. This creates a protective buffer zone.

    Benefits
    Protects expensive alloy wheels from kerbing.

  • Jointless Belt (JLB)

    A Hybrid Overlay Technology that reduces circumferential deformations at high speeds.

    Benefits
    Superior high speed stability; smooth and even wear.

  • Nanoparticles

    Tread compound mixed with nanoparticles of racing carbon black. These nanoparticles are combined with resin and polymers to provide excellent adhesion on dry and wet roads.

    Benefits
    Superior dry and wet grip, precise braking, improved wear.

  • Dual Silica Compound

    This compound improves acceleration performance and promotes low wear and tear.

    Benefits
    Superb braking and acceleration performance; excellent handling on summer and autumn roads; high grip; wear resistance.

  • Silica-Plus Compound

    A motorsport derived tread compound that delivers high levels of grip, particularly on wet roads and in low temperatures.

    Benefits
    Superb braking and acceleration performance; high grip in wet and cold-weather conditions; low wear and tear.
