Dunlop SportMaxx LUX SilentCore-EV | 235/65R18 106V XL (Made in Japan)

“Sovereign Silence. The Peak of SUV and Electrified Luxury.”

Premium mid-size and large SUVs, especially advanced hybrids and EVs, face a unique engineering challenge: their large cabins can amplify hollow road noise, which is immediately noticeable in the absence of a loud combustion engine. The brand-new Dunlop SportMaxx LUX SilentCore-EV solves this flawlessly. This state-of-the-art, Japanese-made (JP) tyre is Dunlop’s premium high-performance comfort model, specifically carrying the official “EV Suitable” designation. By integrating high-volume acoustic foam directly into an Extra Load (106) reinforced carcass, this 18-inch configuration transforms your SUV’s wheels into a source of luxuriously smooth, whisper-quiet cruising while effortlessly handling high dynamic loads and instantaneous torque.

Key Technical Features:

• 🧽 SilentCore Technology (Acoustic Sponge): Inside the tyre cavity sits a specialized, high-volume polyurethane foam layer. This sponge actively absorbs “cavity resonance”—the hollow vibration of air inside the tyre—slashing low-frequency cabin road noise by nearly 9dB. This delivers a beautifully serene ride that perfectly complements the quiet cabins of premium luxury SUVs.

• ⚡ EV-Specific Reinforced Carcass: Built to handle the brutal, instantaneous torque of modern electric and hybrid systems. The high-rigidity internal structure and Extra Load (106) rating safely support up to 950 kg per tyre, expertly managing the immense curb weight of large SUVs and under-floor battery packs without mid-corner sidewall flexing or premature shoulder wear.

• 🌊 Silent Wave Tread Design: A combination of optimized variable-pitch blocks, a “seamless groove” design, and dual slopes interrupts sound waves before they leave the tyre’s contact patch. This intelligent noise reduction technology provides one of the lowest external pass-by noise ratings in its premium class.

• 🏎️ MAXX Drivability Profile: Features a wide, ultra-flat contact patch specifically optimized for heavy applications. This maximizes mechanical grip and steering stability, ensuring the vehicle’s high-torque power is delivered smoothly while providing crisp, responsive turn-in on large SUVs.

• 🧪 Next-Generation Modified Polymer: The advanced tread compound significantly reduces internal heat generation as the heavy tyre rolls. Lower heat translates to ultra-low rolling resistance, which directly maximizes your battery range, improves fuel economy, and enhances the vehicle’s total energy efficiency.
