DUNLOP’s SPORT MAXX RS Now Equipped on Nissan’s Fairlady Z NISMO

DUNLOP (Company name: Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd.; President and CEO: Yasuaki Kuniyasu) is pleased to announce that it has launched the delivery of its DUNLOP SPORT MAXX RS tires to be installed as standard equipment on the Fairlady Z NISMO, which was released in August.

“The Fairlady Z combines heritage-inspired styling with modern technology, highlighted by the long-hood, short-deck proportion inherited from the classic S30 generation. It has also earned praise for the dynamic driving performance and sharp response unique to the Fairlady Z, strengthening the bond between the car and the driver, a key characteristic of its legacy. The refreshed model further evolves the heritage that has defined the Fairlady Z while enhancing its performance.”

The SPORT MAXX RS tires fitted this time were developed specifically to maximize the performance of the Fairlady Z NISMO. In addition to optimizing the tread pattern and stiffness balance, the tires feature a newly developed tread compound. This achieves a high-level balance between the conflicting requirements of excellent steering stability and reduced rolling resistance, simultaneously delivering both sporty performance and environmental efficiency. In addition, the tires are designed to enhance ride comfort and quietness, further contributing to the embodiment of the “strengthening the bond between the car and the driver” and a comfortable driving experience that the Fairlady Z NISMO strives to deliver. With a completely redesigned sidewall, the tires continue to incorporate DUNLOP’s proprietary Nano Black technology. Their rich black color and premium design accentuate the Fairlady Z NISMO’s refined styling, starting from the wheel.
