Dunlop - summer tyres 2025 - market overview, tests, reviews
In the expansive market of Dunlop summer tyres, we've carefully chosen to focus on a select few that stand out based on recent testing data. By evaluating these selected models, we aim to provide an insightful overview encouraging informed decision-making for any prospective buyers.
The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 has consistently shown commendable performance across several rigorous tests and retains a significant position in the ultra-high performance (UUHP) category. Noted especially for its excellent aquaplaning resistance and reasonable mileage longevity, this model has fared well in various assessments by Autobild and ADAC in 2025, earning a "good" rating. However, there are reports of higher wear, as noted in Autobild's review. Despite these minor drawbacks, its superior dry and wet road performance, particularly in fuel efficiency, makes it a prominent choice.
The Dunlop Sport BluResponse, another popular selection, remains competitive with a range of advantages noted by various testing organizations. The tyre has been highlighted for its superior aquaplaning qualities and efficient fuel consumption, earning it a "good" in some evaluations like those from Autobild in 2024. It provides shorter dry braking distances, yet its moderate grip on wet surfaces leaves room for improvement. According to ADAC's 2023 review, the tyre also displays commendable dry road handling and light build but could better balance its environmental impact.
Throughout these evaluations, each tyre demonstrates distinct strengths tailored to specific driving needs, emphasizing Dunlop's dedication to continual performance enhancement. Notably, these models have not been replaced, underscoring their enduring relevance and appeal in the current tyre market landscape.
