Dunlop SP Sport MAXX

They'll write, of course! It seems like people don't understand much about tires! Dunlop is a subsidiary of Bridgestone and Goodyear, testing their new technologies. A conveyor supplier for Mercedes, Audi, Toyota... Yes, it wears out faster! But why? The speed index is W (270 km/h), which means the mixture composition is softer to improve braking and cornering, and the quality of the cord layers is higher! This is like a product category, even if you don't drive at such speeds! Have you checked the treadwear index? Do you know what it is and how much it is? For these tires, it's 40-60 units lower than the average! This corresponds to a reduced maximum mileage of 10-12 thousand kilometers! You have to sacrifice something to improve handling and braking! Have you heard about the manufacturer's recommendations? That's probably why they're noisy, saying they don't match the car. Any tire will be noisy if it works at critical suspension angles or drives on extreme tread tracks! Different tread patterns have a conditional contact patch center that should match the actual one on the car. Understand that it won't work just because of asymmetrical tires on Zhiguli, where there's a solid axle! Entire engineering departments work on this, providing recommendations to the owner. Tires behave differently on independent and dependent suspension! You can't turn Logans and Solaris into Ferraris just by changing tires! What else? Subjectively, these tires have very good braking on dry asphalt and low aquaplaning. And the price!!! Honest Japanese tires are one and a half times cheaper than Conti Premium 6! It's not funded, apparently, by the Formula 1 manufacturer through our pockets, like Michelin and Pirelli do... The success of the model is confirmed by its release since around 2004 and conveyor supply to Audi, Mazda, Toyota! If you compare, the preform hasn't changed since those years, only a couple of logos have changed their location. There's no talk of counterfeits! Clear coincidence of all moldings. I checked! I bought my third set, and my opinion about them hasn't changed!

I've purchased three sets of Dunlops so far, am very satisfied, the first rebars were SP SPORT 9000 - excellent, couldn't find such quality elsewhere, then started driving on SP SPORT MAXX too, am also satisfied, was specifically looking for Japanese, only found them here.

Good, but wears out quickly

Rode to SP SPORT MAXX on SP Sport 9000. Advertising convinced to buy. Delivered from Germany on order. The difference is enormous. Well holds the road with super aggressive driving style and high speeds. Excellent grip on the road. Soft enough for such a size. Only in the rain after 180 km/h is unstable (there was an A8 with GOOD YEAR NCT5 - 200 in the rain, it was like a single
