Based in Akron, OH, the company now operates as part of Sumitomo Rubber Industries. Dunlop has also established itself as an original equipment supplier to a number of well-known automotive manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the motorsport side, Dunlop's competitive history includes a Le Mans victory in 1926 and a strong presence in Formula 1 racing. The brand's tire lineup spans passenger cars, light trucks, CUVs, SUVs, and commercial vehicles, covering categories such as winter, all-season, touring, ultra-high-performance summer, and track competition. Notable product families include the Grandtrek, Signature, SP Sport, and Winter Maxx.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 255\/35R1894Y mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e255 is the tread width in millimeters, 35 means the sidewall is 35% of that width, and R18 is the 18-inch rim it mounts on. 94 is the load index (1,477 lbs per tire), and Y is the speed rating (up to 186 mph).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the Sport Maxx RT2 year-round?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — this is a dedicated summer tire, and its compound is optimized for warm temperatures. Performance drops off significantly once temperatures approach freezing, and it should not be used on snow or ice. Drivers in climates with cold winters should swap to an all-season or winter tire for the colder months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Sport Maxx RT2 come with a mileage warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDunlop covers this tire under its manufacturer warranty program. For specific warranty terms and any applicable mileage coverage, we recommend confirming the details at the time of purchase, as they can vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich vehicles is the Sport Maxx RT2 commonly fitted on?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tire is a frequent OE and replacement choice for luxury and performance vehicles including the BMW 5-Series, 6-Series, and X1, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and GLC43 AMG, and the Mini Clubman and Countryman. Always verify fitment using your vehicle's specific size and load requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Sport Maxx RT2 perform in wet conditions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe asymmetric tread design incorporates channels and block arrangements that help evacuate water and resist hydroplaning, giving the tire solid wet-road capability for a summer performance tire. That said, like all summer tires, it is not intended for standing water at extreme depths or for use in near-freezing rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Max Flange Shield actually do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Max Flange Shield is a reinforced ridge built into the lower sidewall, positioned to absorb contact with curbs before the rim itself takes the hit. It helps reduce the risk of cosmetic or structural rim damage during low-speed parking maneuvers and tight urban driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I get the full manufacturer warranty buying from TFS Wheels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
