Description

Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 2 (255/40R21 102Y MO XL GE)

The Mercedes AMG Standard. Racing Technology for the Executive SUV.

The “RT” stands for Racing Technology, and this second-generation model is designed to provide “the best of both worlds”—the aggressive dry grip of a track tyre with the wet-weather safety required for daily road use.

✨ Key 2026 Performance Technologies

• 🏎️ Power Braking Blocks:

  The tread features high-stiffness blocks designed to resist deformation under extreme pressure. This ensures that during high-speed emergency stops, the tyre maintains a massive contact patch, delivering significantly shorter braking distances.

• 📐 Dual Silica Racing Compound:

  Derived from Dunlop’s motorsport heritage, the compound is infused with traction resins that improve the rubber’s “interlocking” capability with the road. This provides exceptional dry grip and a sharp “turn-in” feel.

• 🔇 Noise Shield Technology:

  To complement the luxury of a Mercedes-Benz cabin, this GE-made variant features an optimized pitch sequence. At 72dB, it effectively disperses road noise, ensuring a quiet and refined driving experience despite its aggressive performance profile.

• 🌧️ Wide Circumferential Hydro-Grooves:

  The asymmetric pattern includes deep longitudinal channels that act as high-velocity water pumps. This provides exceptional resistance to hydroplaning, a critical safety margin during heavy tropical afternoon cloudbursts.

• 🏗️ Multi-Radius Tread (MRT):

  This technology ensures a more uniform pressure distribution across the tyre’s footprint. This leads to more even tread wear and a more predictable handling sensation throughout the tyre’s entire lifespan.
