Dunlop Sport Maxx RT

Anyone tried them on the Omega?

I hate being the ginueau pig, as I was for SC5s - which I don't recommend.

Those ratings are absolutely meaningless, sadly, and are detracting from what the tyre manufacturers should be aiming for - grip and longevity, or a sensible compromise thereof. Not wanking around over fuel efficiency, which nobody gives a nants piss over.

Rant over, and breath ;D

The fuel efficiency difference between the very lowest and very highest ratings is around 5%. So, in an Omega, about 1mpg. As most tyres fall in the middle, it makes absolutely break all difference, apart from allowing the greenies to copitulate up their favourite tree....  ....while the rest of us are sliding into said tree, causing far more damage to the environment, if you believe that 'dangle berries'.


Thanks for the offer AndyC, but not required, I have them. Unless you have access to proper comparisons (to Sport Maxx TT)

he'd get better fuel use, if he had more than 2 throttle settings  ::)

I'm on target for 3 sets of tyres to last me 100,000 miles  :D

Absolutely no use, I'm afraid. Neither of those test cars are anything like Omegas. If one was a 5 series, maybe I'd take some notice.

These same reviews said SC5s were great. They're not. They are complete shit. That shit, I am very seriously considering scrapping £700 of tyres after 1000 miles.


Lastly, I think that review is a cut and paste from several other sites. Sounds like the same words, and it was under very strict Dunlop supervision.
