FAQs
Does this tire have a rim protection feature?
Yes, the SP Sport Maxx TT includes the Maximum Flange Shield (MFS) system, which provides a protective rubber buffer for your alloy wheels.
Can I use these tires in the winter?
These tires are designed for performance in wet and dry conditions and are not categorized as winter or snow tires.
What does the 91W rating mean?
91 is the load index, meaning each tire can support 615 kg. W is the speed rating, indicating the tire is certified for speeds up to 168 mph (270 km/h).
Why is Kevlar used in this tire?
DuPont Kevlar is used to reinforce the sidewalls, which reduces flex and results in better steering precision and road feedback.
How often should I check the tire pressure?
It is recommended to check your tire pressure at least once a month and before any long road trips.
Troubleshooting
Steering feels 'vague' or unresponsive
Check your tire pressure immediately; under-inflated tires will drastically reduce the effectiveness of the Dunlop Touch Technology.
Increased vibration at high speeds
Verify that the tires are properly balanced and that no debris is stuck in the tread grooves.
Uneven shoulder wear
Have your wheel alignment checked, as the stiff shoulder blocks on this tire can show signs of wear faster if the vehicle's camber or toe is out of specification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Compatibility: Ensure the 205/55 R16 91W specification matches your vehicle requirements as listed in your owner's manual or on the driver-side door placard.
- Pressure Maintenance: Check tire pressure monthly while cold to ensure consistent handling and performance. Refer to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended PSI.
- Rotation: Rotate your tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles to promote even tread wear, especially given the aggressive nature of the sport compound.

- Storage: If storing a spare set, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources to prevent compound degradation.
