Among the well-reviewed summer tyres, we have the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 and the Vredestein Ultrac Satin. Here's a comprehensive comparison based on manufacturer specifications, our ratings, and various tyre tests.
The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2, a UUHP (Ultra-Ultra High-Performance) tyre, offers strong capabilities even at high speeds. It features top-tier technology introduced by Dunlop Tyres, excelling in stability and responsiveness. It earned a reputable score of 72% in our tests.
On the other hand, the Vredestein Ultrac Satin, a product of Vredestein Tyres, boasts great handling and shorter braking distances. Despite not having a UUHP rating like the Dunlop, it still performs admirably in various tests, and was manufactured in Hungary.
In Automotorsport tests, the Dunlop was narrowly outperformed by the Vredestein, ranking 9th and 8th respectively. However, the Dunlop tire made a strong comeback in the Autobild tests, clinching the 7th position out of 52 tyres, while the Vredestein tyre landed at position 12. It's noteworthy that in the Gute-Fahrt tests, the Dunlop tyre claimed an impressive 2nd place with the Vredestein following at 6th place out of 10 tested tyres.
While both models are exemplary, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 appears to edge out the Vredestein Ultrac Satin overall in most tests, indicating its strong, balanced performance across a wider range of conditions. It offers high-speed stability, quick response times, and excellent handling on both dry and wet surfaces. The Dunlop Model's UUHP rating also signifies this tyre's superior durability and capability at extremely high speeds, signifying its edge for ultra-performance cars.
Conversely, the Vredestein Ultrac Satin excels in braking distance and handling, with a particularly strong performance in wet conditions and at lower speeds. It's worth noting, however, that although it lacks a UUHP rating, this tyre still puts up a solid performance, comparable to many of its higher-rated counterparts.
In conclusion, if your primary focus lies in high-speed performance and stability, the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx RT2 will serve as an excellent choice. If you prioritize wet condition performance and great handling at medium speed ranges, then the Vredestein Ultrac Satin is certainly worth considering.
