Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 45 reviews

Dry grip is the most consistently liked aspect of the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT, praised by eighteen of forty-three owners against three criticisms. Wet grip is almost evenly split, with nine favorable accounts and ten complaints, while road noise draws twelve criticisms against two positive comments. Tread life varies, with long service in some end-of-life accounts and rapid wear in others. Comfort concerns come from six owners, around one in seven. One owner continues to report noise in a later review, but the two owners who wrote again do not establish a shared ageing pattern. Across forty-five reviews, the 64.2% average combines twenty positive scores, eighteen neutral and seven below 40%.

Decent tire with good grip, better grip than Avon zz3. Both wet and dry. But when it comes to wear these tires are horrid. 3000 miles they covered on my car in 4 months on the front :( I am heavy footed bout even the previous Avon zz3's with me driving lasted a little over 10k miles. I would not recommend these to anyone unless your going up and down the motorway

One of the best tires I've driven on a Vauxhall Omega, if not the best. Directional stability, raw grip, braking performance are all superb for a road tire. The downside is a life of about 11-12k from the rears (RWD) and double from fronts. Grip and stability maintained to long below the UK legal limit. The level of feedback allows you to get the maximum out of them, and with a predictability that inspires confidence. All this with a comfortable ride, although a bit of tire noise.

In terms of miles per dollar SHOCKING; for day to day driving better off with anything half the price

i would say these tire are pretty fair in term of it prices and performances in the dry but average in the wet . not recommended for high speed in the rain condition but do really provides confident in dry grid and hard cornering

I'm still new to Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT. Changed from Goodyear Revspec RS02 after having done about 70,000 miles in them. Of course in several sets. Noted the stiffer sidewall immediately which allowed me to take sharper bends with more confident. Way better than the previous Goodyear, hands down. So far, the TT passes my stress test with flying colors. Great! Highly recommended.

Very good on dry&wet and a high resistance to aquaplaning, nice fast cornering. A little bit noisy, though. Incomparable better than OEM ContiContact Sport 2 that came with the car, that tires used to make me nuts on every drop of rain. I can not understand why Ford delivers the cars with such tires.

Had a set of Falken FK452 prior to chainging over to the Dunlops, have done around 2K on them and found them pretty bad on damp/wet roads, the electronic stability control (ESC) keeps lighting up when i was transversing the highlands road after it poured with rain.
Couldnt remeber the ESC lighting up that much when i was with my old set of wheels.
Be very cautious with this tire in the wet

Very poor quality in comparison to previous set (Continental SC3)!
Will never buy these again. Wet surface grip is non-existant with wheelspin up to 4th gear, and even on dry surface up to 3rd gear ...
Also very loud, with lots of wear when pushed to the limit.

10k+ miles now done on these, grip & feel are great no notice of change over the miles. Wet as good as dry, my best wear on tires for a while but that is not important to me. Still got a few thousand miles left.
