Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT DSST 245/35R20 XL 95Y Max Performance Summer Tire 57000880
π‘ Is the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT DSST 245/35R20 a Good Tire?
The Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT DSST 245/35R20 is a summer max performance tire designed for luxury sports cars and performance sedans. It delivers strong dry grip and adequate wet traction thanks to its directional tread design and high-silica compound, plus run-flat capability for emergency mobility. Ride comfort is firm with noticeable road noise due to the low-profile sidewall and performance-oriented construction. Tread life is below average for the category as expected from a max performance summer tire. Rated Fair by TireRack based on 79 consumer surveys, it provides puncture security for performance driving but is not winter-rated and prioritizes handling over ride comfort. Currently priced from $468.17, it is available through major online tire retailers.

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.

"A practical option for luxury sports car owners who need run-flat capability without sacrificing decent performance handling. The ride comfort suffers compared to conventional tires due to the reinforced sidewall construction."
