Description

Dunlop Sport Maxx A1 (235/50R18 97W JP)

The Luxury-Performance Benchmark. Engineered for High-Speed Refinement.

The Sport Maxx A1 is designed for drivers who want a sophisticated balance of “silent” highway cruising and responsive handling. It is specifically tuned to reduce the vibrations and harshness typically associated with low-profile performance tyres.

✨ Key Technical Features

• 🏎️ High-Speed Stability Ribs:

  The tread features a continuous center rib that ensures the tyre remains stable and provides a “direct” steering feel during high-speed highway cruising. This prevents the “vague” steering feel common in softer touring tyres.

   

• 🔇 Specialized Noise-Damping Pattern:

  Dunlop utilized a unique tread block arrangement designed to cancel out road noise frequencies. This makes the A1 remarkably quiet for a UHP tyre, preserving the luxury cabin experience of high-end sedans.

   

• 🛡️ Hybrid Band Construction:

  To maintain the tyre’s shape under the high centrifugal forces of 270 km/h speeds, Dunlop uses a hybrid overlay. This ensures a consistent contact patch, improving both grip and the overall longevity of the tyre.

• 🌧️ Multi-Groove Drainage:

  Four wide longitudinal grooves work to evacuate water rapidly, providing reliable resistance against aquaplaning. This ensures the car remains stable and brakes predictably during heavy rain.

   

• 🛑 Precision Braking Compound:

  The rubber compound is enriched with high-grip resins that allow the tyre to “bite” into the road surface during emergency stops, significantly reducing braking distances in both dry and wet conditions.

📊 Performance Summary

• High-Speed Stability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Excellent)

• Road Noise: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Very quiet for a performance tyre)

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Solid water drainage)

• Comfort: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Smooth and refined)

The Dunlop Sport Maxx A1 is the ideal choice if you want to maintain the “factory-standard” luxury feel of your premium vehicle while ensuring you have the grip needed for spirited driving.
