Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050+ DSST

The summer tire Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050+ DSST is designed for the most powerful versions of compact and medium-sized passenger cars. Structurally, it is a tire with a 050+ index, equipped with the RunOnFlat system, which allows it to be used in the event of a loss of internal pressure. On the move, it is characterized by excellent traction properties, especially on wet surfaces, precise handling, and a good level of acoustic comfort for the Ultra High Performance tire category.

The DSST abbreviation consists of the capital letters of the "proprietary" technology of the Dunlop brand, Dunlop Self-Supporting Technology, which makes it possible to continue driving on a deflated tire. This capability is provided by a patented sidewall design that is reinforced to the point where it can fully support the weight of the vehicle. The reserve of strength provides reliability in handling at speeds up to 80 km/h.

Another feature of the tire is the rubber compound. It was obtained using the also "proprietary" development of the Dunlop brand, 4D Nano Design. The technology makes it possible to improve the three key characteristics of the tire - traction, resistance to wear, and fuel efficiency. To do this, the internal structure of the automotive compounds was studied at the molecular level using X-ray equipment, high-intensity proton accelerators, and a supercomputer. The subsequent modeling made it possible to create a rubber compound in which the areas of greatest stress and heat generation were eliminated. As a result, the compound used in this tire allows it to be very grippy on cold wet asphalt, resistant to abrasive wear, and prolonged heating during high-speed driving and dynamic maneuvering.

The tread pattern is distinguished by an asymmetric arrangement of elements and their distribution over functional zones. The outer side with large blocks and a central rib provides course stability and handling precision at high speeds and during dynamic maneuvering. In turn, the inner part with numerous transverse edges allows for intense acceleration and deceleration on wet surfaces.
