Among summer tyres, we have the ultra-high-performance Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 and the Nokian zLine . Each tyre has its respective attribute, allowing it to perform exceptionally in certain perspectives.
The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 ranks significantly high in our reviews, scoring a total of 72%. Manufactured by Dunlop, this ultra-high-performance tyre is designed to provide great balance and control, especially during summer. The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 is remarkable and shines in tests at Autobild and GTÜ. It secures a 7th position among 52 tyres in the Autobild test while clinching the 3rd position among 14 tyres in GTÜ's comparison.
In terms of overall strengths, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 excels in performance, ensuring optimal road grip, outstanding wet and dry handling and stability. However, it also bears some weaknesses; the lack of information regarding the country of manufacture and first equipment details can be a factor that could deter potential buyers.
On the opposite side, we have the Nokian zLine, a summer tyre designed by Nokian. According to available test results, it managed to secure the 20th place among 52 tyres at Autobild, while at GTÜ it ranked 6th among 14 tyres. Given the competitive nature of the tests, these positions reveal that the Nokian zLine can deliver decent performances under strict testing conditions.
However, Nokian zLine's lack of a rating percentage on our page and missing details about the country of manufacture and first equipment are significant weaknesses. Potential customers usually appreciate transparency from manufacturers in order for them to make well-informed decisions.
To conclude, if you're seeking strong performance on summer roads, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 is the top choice. However, if the tests' positions and performance matter to you and you're willing to make a little trade-off, then the Nokian zLine can be a decent alternative. It's crucial to remember that tyre preferences are often subjective and largely depend on individual driving styles and conditions. Therefore, our advice is to thoroughly research each tyre's properties and performances before making a decision.
