About This Tire

The Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT DSST 245/35R20 is a summer run-flat tire, designed for sporty vehicle drivers who prioritize emergency mobility and performance handling in warm weather conditions. Its Dunlop Self-Supporting Technology (DSST) and reinforced sidewall construction focus on maintaining vehicle control even after complete air pressure loss while delivering sporty dry and wet traction.

The tire incorporates special sidewall reinforcements that support the vehicle's weight during air pressure loss, allowing up to 50 miles of driving at speeds up to 55 mph when flat. As original equipment for sporty cars from the U.S., Europe, and Asia, it balances performance handling with run-flat capability. Driver feedback indicates good dry performance and fair wet traction, though comfort and treadwear receive more modest ratings due to the reinforced construction typical of run-flat designs.

Compared to conventional summer tires, it trades some ride comfort and tread longevity for the security of extended mobility after punctures. Overall, it's a solid choice for luxury sports cars and performance vehicles where run-flat capability is prioritized over maximum comfort in warm weather driving.
