What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 10 owner reviews found online.

The Dunlop SP Sport Maxx ROF receives mixed reviews, with users praising its highway handling, low road noise, and aggressive appearance on large rims, but heavily criticizing its rapid tread wear and subpar wet-weather performance. As a run-flat tire (ROF) typically fitted as original equipment on performance and luxury vehicles, it faces common complaints regarding high replacement costs and a harsh ride.

Pros

Good everyday highway stability and handling
Low road noise levels
Aggressive and appealing aesthetic on large wheel sizes (e.g., 20-inch)
Uniform wear characteristics down to the tread markers for some users

Cons

Significantly fast and disappointing tread wear mileage
Poor grip and confidence in wet weather conditions
High replacement costs typical of run-flat tires
Harsh ride quality and tendency to track on uneven road surfaces

Worth knowing

Drivers with large 20-inch setups on heavy vehicles like the BMW X5 reported fast tread wear, requiring replacements anywhere from 6,000 to under 20,000 miles.
BMW 640D owners noted a harsh ride quality attributed to the 275/30/R20 run-flat configuration on the rear axle.
