The summer tire Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT600 DSST is part of the standard equipment of the Nissan GT-R. It is a special version of the same model, differing from it by an increased contact patch and an optimized rubber compound.
As in other tire components, the tread area features widely used solutions from circuit racing. One of them is the design of the tread pattern. It is distinguished by the large size of all elements. The dual rib located in the center increases directional stability and accuracy in handling during straight-line driving. The hypertrophied shoulder zones allow the tire not to slip into a skid during dynamic maneuvering. At the same time, the steering wheel provides exceptionally clear feedback, which makes the handling process much easier.
This property is also ensured by the optimized profile of the tread area. The variable curvature allows the tire to fit very tightly to the road surface with a maximum large area, regardless of the direction and level of acceleration forces. As a result, the grip properties are enhanced, and during maneuvering, they remain stable. In addition, this solution significantly reduces the level of abrasive impact on the tread.
The tread pattern contains a large number of drainage grooves for such tires. This significantly reduces the risk of aquaplaning, especially at high speeds. Here it is necessary to note a number of properties of the rubber compound. First of all, the increased elasticity at low temperatures. This gives the tire additional grip on a wet and cold road surface.
Main features of Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT600 DSST
- a tread pattern with a large dual rib in the middle and wide shoulder blocks provides reliable grip at any speed;
- an optimized tread profile increases the contact patch;
- a special rubber compound improves grip on wet surfaces.
