Dunlop Tires Selected as OE for New Lexus UX

Sumitomo Rubber Industries has announced that the company has started deliveries of its high-performance Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050 DSST CTT tires as the OE tires for the new Lexus UX. The Lexus UX is a new compact crossover Lexus model which was launched at the retail level from November this year.

Sumitomo’s high-speed Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050 DSST CTT tires have Run Flat technology. They provide several benefits such as exceptional safety and help the Lexus UX to deliver excellent maneuverability, high levels of stability and an outstandingly comfortable ride.

Using the tires which have run flat technology makes it possible for motorists to continue driving even after they suffer a puncture and complete loss of internal pressure. They can do this at a certain speed for a certain distance and this can vary from vehicle to vehicle. Use of such tires not only help to enhance safety while on the road but also helps motorists to save on fuel and reduce the overall vehicle weight as they eliminate the need for spare tires.
