Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. is pleased to announce that we have begun supplying our high-performance DUNLOP “SP SPORT MAXX 050” tires to LEXUS for use as factory standard tires on their latest “UX250h/UX200,” which launched this July.


The embodiment of the “Creative Urban Explorer” design concept, the LEXUS UX Series is a line of urban-style compact crossover SUVs that (as of May 2022) has sold over 250,000 units in over 80 countries and territories since it debuted in 2018. The latest UX model not only features a reinforced body and other upgrades, but also achieves further improvements when it comes to providing a smoother, more refined drive experience with a greater sense of control and responsiveness.
