Dunlop Sport Maxx RT DSST ROF (OE). FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; High speed controllability; Run flat tire model; . OVERVIEW: The Dunlop Sport Maxx RT DSST ROF (OE) is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. This is the original equipment tire of select vehicles.The tire promotes excellent summer weather traction. It combines the summer compound and the directional tread design in order to increase the dry and wet weather grip on the road surface. The tread elements firmly grip the road surface with the better road-to-rubber ratio. Stronger compound materials decrease the heat build-up, which eases the pressure off the tire. Circumferential and angled lateral grooves channel water from the footprint, effectively avoiding hydroplaning in wet conditions.High speed controllability is offered with this model. The Racing Technology, which gave this model its name (RT) utilizes the footprint to ensure a consistent surface contact. This optimizes the performing precision, increasing the steering responsiveness and driving stability. Additionally, the other tread elements boost the cornering and maneuvering capability, promoting a safer cornering and braking power. Its high speed durability is guaranteed as well, since the structure does not deform and heat build-up is effectively avoided. This combination ensures the tire’s safer driving experience.The Dunlop Sport Maxx RT DSST ROF (OE) is a run flat model, which was manufactured with Dunlop’s Self-Supporting Technology (DSST). This allows the tire’s limited, temporary performance in case of air pressure loss. In other words, once air pressure leaves the tire, it can still be driven on for 50 miles up to 50 mph. This guarantees the tire’s secure performance, as it makes sure the vehicle is not stranded on the side of the road. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
