The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 and the Bridgestone Turanza T005 are both summer tyres, however, the Dunlop tyre is classified as ultra-high performance (UUHP) and the Bridgestone as touring.
In comparing these two, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 outranked the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 in several tests. Notably, Bridgestone came 3rd in the Sport Auto test, compared to Dunlop's lower 5th place. Bridgestone also triumphed in the Autobild and ADAC tests, placing 10th and 4th respectively versus Dunlop's lower 11th and 6th positions. However, Dunlop excelled in the Gute-Fahrt test by securing 3rd place while Bridgestone landed in the 6th position. Furthermore, both tyres appear to perform well in terms of rolling resistance and handling aquaplaning situtations, but Bridgestone earns extra points for wet handling and comfort.
In terms of general strengths and weaknesses, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 is praised for its low rolling resistance, good water dispersion, and fair price level. However, it was noted that its handling in wet conditions was not top-tier and it displayed some inconsistency in dry conditions as well. On the other hand, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 was particularly noted for its high grip on dry roads and when raining. Its additional strengths include good rolling resistance and a high degree of comfort when driving. However, it was noted for slight potential instability in extreme conditions and a slightly higher level of wear.
In conclusion, both tyres have their merits and would be a respectable choice for any driver. However, based on test results, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 tends to outperform the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2, particularly in terms of wet handling and comfort. It also showed a stronger performance in more tests overall. Ultimately, the choice between these two will likely depend on individual preferences and requirements.
