Dunlop Sport Maxx Race 2

In developing the new Sport Maxx Race 2 Dunlop was able to draw on its experience in Motorsport GT3 and endurance races in which Dunlop has had more wins at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring and Le Mans than any other tire manufacturer. The key for the ultimate lap time is grip and steering precision. An optimized tire contour allows the Sport Maxx Race 2 a uniform pressure distribution in the footprint. This enables precise feedback when cornering and thus a high steering precision.

Inspired by reinforcing structures from nature, the Sport Maxx Race has 2 connecting webs between the outer profile series. Thus, the stability of the tire is increased. This so-called "Lightweight Reinforcement Structure Design" enabled the tire developers to use less rubber and to construct a stable and at the same time light weight tire.

Top 3 Dunlop Sport Maxx Race 2 Reviews

Given 91% while driving a Porsche 1993 928 GTS (295/30 R20) on mostly country roads for 2,500 spirited miles
The N version that came standard with my GT4 RS is on par with the best in dry conditions but I was surprised with the wet grip, better than the Cup 2s I had in my previous GT4. Seems to last longer as well.

Top tire! as good as the Michelin cup 2, but with more km and more resistant on the circuit, Be careful when cold it requires more warm-up time! than Michelin it is also their advantage of less rapid wear for Dunlop.

Porsche 991.1 GT3 RS (325/30 R21) on track for 1,000 spirited miles
Early review. I actually think that I like these better than the MPCS2. I'm surprised cos I thought that it would be a 50/50 split. The Dunnies definitely seem grippier in the dry and therefore inspire more confidence to brake very late and dive bomb those corners. The dry grip is superb. If they last as long as the Michies or even almost as long and have acceptable wet grip then I am a new convert. I really don't care about comfort !
