In the Autobild test, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 secured the 11th position out of 53 tyres, outperforming the Kleber Dynaxer UHP, which held the 15th place. The Kleber tyre's strengths lay in its exterior noise, receiving high praise for its quiet ride.

In summary, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 showed reliable handling on wet roads, excellent aquaplaning resistance, and short dry braking distance according to the ADAC 2016 and Autobild 2023 tests. However, it fell short due to its slower response time when steering on dry surfaces.

The Kleber Dynaxer UHP, as reported by the Autobild 2023 test, had a high mileage performance and quiet rolling sound, coupled with low rolling resistance. The tyre's downsides were its medium grip and low lateral guidance on wet surfaces, along with limited aquaplaning reserves.

To conclude: if a driver demands rapid steering response on dry roads, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 might not be the perfect tyre. On the other hand, for those prioritising high mileage performance and a quieter ride the Kleber Dynaxer UHP might fall short due to its underwhelming wet surface performance.

When making the ultimate choice, one should consider the driving conditions and vehicle performance requirements thoroughly.
