FAQ

How much quieter is the SPORT MAXX LUX than the previous model?

Based on Sumitomo Rubber tests, tread pattern noise is 14.9% lower and road noise 8.8% lower than the Dunlop VEURO VE304.

What does the Silent Core sponge inside the tire do?

The noise-absorbing sponge attached inside the tire reduces the resonance that builds up in the tire's air cavity, making the cabin quieter, especially on rough roads.

Can the SPORT MAXX LUX be used on an EV?

Yes. The sidewall carries the EV Suitable mark, meaning Dunlop designed it to handle the weight and torque of EVs, and it works normally on gas cars too.

What country is Dunlop from? Where is it made?

Dunlop is a tire brand from England. Today, Dunlop car tires in Thailand belong to Sumitomo Rubber of Japan. DUNLOP was the name of an early pneumatic tire in 1888, and the British Dunlop company built Japan's first modern rubber plant in 1909, which later became Sumitomo Rubber. Dunlop Thailand says its main production base is the Sumitomo Rubber (Thailand) plant in Rayong, but does not name the plant for the SPORT MAXX LUX specifically.

What warranty does the SPORT MAXX LUX have?

Every tire bought from Subphaisal is covered by the manufacturer against manufacturing defects for 2 years or 50,000 km, for both store pickup and delivery, plus road hazard cover for cuts, bulges and punctures for 120 days or 7,000 km when you buy 4 tires, install them at a branch and register per the brand's terms. See the warranty page for details.

Where can I get the SPORT MAXX LUX installed?

Order online and choose installation at any of Subphaisal's 5 branches in Thonburi and Nonthaburi, booking a date and time at checkout, or have the tires shipped anywhere in Thailand.
