The Dunlop SportMaxx RT 2 secures the fifth spot, showcasing competent performances across various tests. It demonstrates solid dry braking and handling, indicating reliable control and stability. In wet conditions, it maintains commendable performance, though there's room for improvement in braking and handling to match the best. The tire excels in straight hydroplaning resistance and also performs well in lateral hydroplaning, providing good safety margins in wet conditions. Its noise level is one of the lowest, contributing to a quieter driving experience. Notably, the tire's rolling resistance is very low, enhancing fuel efficiency.

The Dunlop SportMaxx RT 2 ranks fifth, showing strong performance in specific areas while having room for improvement in others. It performs well in dry braking, coming close to the leaders, and excels in hydroplaning resistance, particularly in lateral conditions, where it tops the chart. Wet braking and handling, however, do not reach the top echelons, highlighting an aspect that could be enhanced. The tire's noise level is moderately low, contributing to a comfortable ride experience. Wear and value metrics indicate that the tire wears faster and offers less value compared to the best in its category. Its pricing is mid-range, and fuel consumption is average, reflecting an overall balanced performance with a few standout features.

Positive: Wet handling performance. Hydroplaning resistance. Dry braking.
Negative: Dry handling performance.
On dry surfaces, this Dunlop tire responds somewhat slowly to driver input, but effectively stops the car. On wet surfaces, it provides a high overall level of safety.

This tire has long since been present on the market but it is constantly upgraded, and even today it can be considered to be a good choice, even though there are tires with an even better balanced performance out there. For example, while this tire’s wet handling response and hydroplaning resistance are still outstanding, its braking distance is relatively long, i.e. this tire is inferior to the new top-league models.

This Dunlop ultra-high-performance summer tire earns Excellent ratings in CR's tests of dry braking and hydroplaning resistance; wet braking and handling are also very strong. Its standout characteristic, however, is decent ride comfort, which is a rarity among ultra-high-performance summer tires.

Good aquaplaning resistance. Great handling response in the wet. Short braking distance on wet and dry pavement. Great riding comfort. Fair price. Delayed steering response on dry pavement. Good.

Excellent hydroplaning resistance. Good handling response in the dry. Great riding comfort. Long braking distance on wet and dry pavements.

Great handling response in any weather conditions (during high-speed cornering on wet pavement, slight understeer occurs, but on the whole the tires ensure adequate grip level). Great riding comfort. Excellent hydroplaning resistance.

Great handling response in the wet and in the dry. Excellent hydroplaning resistance. Short braking distance on dry pavement. Relatively long braking distance on wet pavement.

The same applies to the Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2, which is also efficient, but not grippy enough when braking in the wet.

Especially good on dry roads. Slightly increased wear. Slight weaknesses in the wet.

The tires Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 has short braking distance on dry pavement, the fourteenth place.

The lowest rolling resistance on test. The best hydroplaning resistance. Good handling in the dry. Prone to skidding on wet pavement.

Shortest dry braking, highest aquaplaning resistance, good comfort.

Good aquaplaning resistance, good handling and short braking distances in the dry, low rolling resistance. Understeer in the wet.
