Japan In August 2016, we released the greatest studless tire masterpiece in DUNLOP history: WINTER MAXX 02, which achieves outstanding on-ice performance plus lasting performance over the long run. The combination of our Super Grip Nano- Fit Rubber and MAXX Grip Pattern improve on-ice braking performance by 12% while maintaining high performance for the service life of a tire. Our newly developed Suppleness Additive high-performance biomass material allows rubber compounds to maintain their initial suppleness for longer. WINTER MAXX 02 has received widespread acclaim from the market, leading to brisk sales. 22
