Jun. 30. 2023
Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. is pleased to announce that we have begun supplying our high-performance DUNLOP “SP SPORT MAXX 060” tires to LEXUS for use as factory standard tires on their latest “LEXUS LC,” which went on sale this June.
The latest “LEXUS LC” is a luxury coupe designed to take both the beauty of the vehicle itself and the joy of the drive to all-new heights.
In order to provide the unmatched riding comfort and steering stability that one would expect from the latest “LEXUS LC,” our latest DUNLOP “SP SPORT MAXX 060” tires incorporate a newly developed tread rubber compound that serves to increase the overall rigidity of the tread. At the same time, the adoption of an innovative asymmetrical tread pattern also serves to enhance all-around maneuverability. In addition, our DUNLOP “SP SPORT MAXX 060” tires also contribute to the remarkably stylish design of the new “LEXUS LC” thanks to our proprietary “Nano Black*” design technique, which makes lettering and other markings stand out in deeper, more vivid shades of black.
* Announcing “Nano Black,” a New Design Technique for Deeper Black Sidewall Coloring to Improve the Visibility & Appearance of Tire Logos, etc. (News Release Issued August 31, 2021)
