Our take

The Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 060 is tailored for drivers who prioritize dry grip and handling, with both scores sitting at 8, which is respectable for the ultra-high performance summer category. However, its wet grip score of 5 is a significant drawback, especially when the category average is 7.6. This makes it less suitable for those who regularly encounter wet conditions.

In terms of comfort and noise, the tire meets category expectations, with scores of 6 and 6.5 respectively, making it a reasonable choice for daily driving. Its treadlife score of 7.2 is a highlight, surpassing the category average, which suggests it may last longer than some other options in this performance segment.

When compared to competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Pirelli P Zero, the SP Sport Maxx 060 lacks a treadwear warranty, which could be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, for instance, offers a treadwear warranty, potentially providing better long-term value.

Overall, this tire is best avoided by those living in wet climates or seeking a warranty-backed option. Instead, consider the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for a more balanced performance across wet and dry conditions, along with a treadwear warranty for added peace of mind.

Pros

  • Dry grip and handling scores of 8 align well with the expectations for ultra-high performance summer tires.
  • Comfort and noise scores match the category averages, making it a relatively balanced option for daily driving.
  • Treadlife score of 7.2 exceeds the ultra-high performance summer category average, suggesting longer usability than some competitors.

Cons

  • Wet grip performance is notably below category expectations, making it a poor choice for regions with frequent rain.
  • Wet grip score of 5 falls significantly short of the category average of 7.6, which could be concerning in rainy conditions.
  • No treadwear warranty is offered, unlike some competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, which may affect long-term cost considerations.
  • The B traction grade indicates less wet traction reliability compared to competitors with AA or A ratings.
