DUNLOP “GRANDTREK AT5” Selected as Factory Standard Tires for Toyota’s new LEXUS NX “OVERTRAIL”
Mar. 15. 2024
Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. is pleased to announce that we have begun supplying DUNLOP “GRANDTREK AT5” tires for use as factory standard tires on the new LEXUS NX “OVERTRAIL”, which launched this February.
The new luxury SUV was developed as part of the LEXUS “OVERTRAIL PROJECT”, which aims to achieve a carbon-neutral society, “nurture the relationship between humans, nature, and mobility,” and support a wide range of customers’ outdoor lifestyles. In addition to off-road capability, stability, and comfort, the vehicle's interior and exterior were designed with the outdoors in mind, allowing drivers to enjoy enriching outdoor lifestyles.
Meanwhile, our DUNLOP “GRANDTREK AT5” is an all-terrain SUV tire that combine on-road and off-road performance at a high level. Combining a new compound and new tread pattern with high drainage efficiency, the tires can achieve improved wet-driving performance. Rubber blocks on the sides of the tires improve cut resistance, while stone ejectors protect against stone trapping. The combination of these innovations provides powerful traction both on-road and off-road as well as on other tough terrains, making for a high-mileage tire. Furthermore, an aggressive design was adopted for the block treads and sides to match the design profile of the new LEXUS NX “OVERTRAIL”.
