Comparison: Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 vs. Maxxis Premitra HP5 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Michelin Primacy 5

In the tyre arena, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 and the Maxxis Premitra HP5 have shown interesting characteristics. Drawing from multiple test results, let's dive into the specifics of each tyre.


The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2


Released by Dunlop, the SP Sport MAXX RT2 is a summer tyre. Standing on our rating scale at 76%, it has shown a remarkable performance in most of the tests. Especially, the comfort and Aquaplaning - longitudinal features stood out in Autobild's test where it clinched the 7th position among 52 tyres - a commendable performance indeed! In other tests as well, it demonstrated impressive results coming 9th in Automotorsport and an excellent 2nd in Gute-Fahrt's test. This underscores its strength on various parameters. However, a possible area of focus could be its delayed steering behaviour on dry surfaces.


The Maxxis Premitra HP5


The Maxxis Premitra HP5, on the other hand, got 56% on our rating scale. Another summer tyre, it showcased excellent characteristics in Aquaplaning - both longitudinal and cross, as per Autobild's test, in which it ranked 18th out of 52. Furthermore, it held the 10th position in both Automotorsport and Gute-Fahrt's tests. Its impressive Aquaplaning security reserves and short wet braking distances highlight this tyre's strengths. However, some limitations are its understeering dry handling, significantly restricted mileage, and increased rolling resistance.


Final Verdict


Comparing the results of these two tyres sheds light on their advantages and areas for improvement. While both exhibited promising Aquaplaning features, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 triumphs in terms of comfort and overall performance according to the tests conducted. Although the Maxxis Premitra HP5 has excellent Aquaplaning attributes, it falls behind in terms of mileage and dry handling.

Ultimately, picking a tyre depends on the specific needs, preferences, and driving conditions of each driver, but this information provides a solid foundation in making that choice.
