New LEXUS GX550	GRANDTREK H/T31

Since its market launch in 2002, LEXUS GX has been sold mainly in North America and has evolved as an SUV that provides both comfortable driving performance even on a rough road and a sense of luxury. The new GX550 features a strong body structure and a powerful yet efficient engine to deliver superior driving performance. “OVERTRAIL+,” equipped with the special design, the latest suspension technology and driving support system, and 18-inch tires, achieves both on-road and off-road performance.

The GRANDTREK series, DUNLOP’s tires for SUVs, has long been used as factory standard tires for Toyota’s SUVs.

The GRANDTREK H/T31 was newly developed as a product that pursues on-road performance in addition to the reliability and durability that the GRANDTREK series has developed. The product strikes a balance between quiet performance, high fuel efficiency, and anti-wear performance at a high level by using a H/T (Highway Terrain) pattern and new tread rubber. In addition, we used “Nano Black,”* which is our unique design technique for deeper black coloring, for brand logos on tire sidewalls to improve their visibility and to give tires a more luxurious overall design aesthetic.
