OVERVIEW

The Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050 DSST CTT is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

This model offers exceptional summer weather performance. Heat-resistant compound elements and the asymmetric tread design enhance the dry and wet weather grip. Stronger rubber materials effectively ease the pressure off the tire, ensuring a safer warm-temperature drive. The close road contact with the road-to-rubber ratio and ideal sipe pattern firmly grip the road as well. Circumferential grooves disperse water from below the footprint, effectively avoiding hydroplaning in wet conditions.

The tire is a run flat model. The reinforced internal structure maintains the ideal tire shape even under the weight of the vehicle and its passengers. This enables the tire to promote a limited, temporary performance in case of air pressure loss. In this manner, the tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph once air pressure leaves the tire. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle with regular tires, as run flat models are manufactured with a heavier construction.

Better controllability and superb high speed performance are ensured with the surface contact. The Combined Tire Technology and the three rib pattern guarantee the surface contact at all times, enhancing the steering responsiveness and driving stability. A faster and precise steering response to the driver's commands, while it also helps to stabilize the tire against the driving pressure. Additionally, this road contact, with the stronger structure and the heat build-up prevention, improves the high speed durability. These enable the tire to significantly upgrade the high speed performance.

The SP Sport Maxx 050 DSST CTT promotes higher comfort levels. The Noise Shield Technology places a special sound-absorbing foam on the tread's inner lining. This foam filters sound waves through, weakening their strength and preventing them from reaching the vehicle's cabin. As a result, road disturbances do not ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment, offering a quiet driving experience.

This specific tire is marked with OE as it is the original equipment tire of select vehicles.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
