Dunlop Sport Maxx RT RunOnFlat

The Dunlop Sport Maxx RT RunOnFlat is a solid choice for those who prioritize wet grip, scoring a 9 against the category average of 7.6. This makes it particularly appealing for drivers who frequently encounter wet roads. However, the tradeoff comes in the form of treadlife, with a UTQG treadwear rating of 240 and no mileage warranty, which is a significant consideration compared to competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S that offers a 30k-mile warranty. In terms of performance, the tire holds its own with an 8 in both dry grip and handling, aligning well with the expectations for an ultra-high performance summer tire. Comfort and noise levels are average for the category, which means it won't surprise you either way on long drives. The 'R' speed rating is a bit of an anomaly in this segment, where higher speed ratings are the norm, potentially affecting top speed performance. When comparing to its peers, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S offers a more comprehensive package with its warranty and higher speed rating, while the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) provides similar dry performance with potentially better longevity. If your driving involves high mileage or you need a higher speed rating, these competitors might be worth considering over the Sport Maxx RT RunOnFlat.
