When the Subaru Trailseeker AWD Touring arrives in an Australian showroom, it arrives on DUNLOP rubber.
DUNLOP Tyres Australia has confirmed that the DUNLOP SP Sport Maxx 060 has been selected as original equipment on the Subaru Trailseeker AWD Touring for the Australian market. The Trailseeker is now on sale in Australia, and supply of its OE fitment has begun.
The Trailseeker takes Subaru’s practical, go-anywhere character and gives it electric drive. It is a spacious SUV designed for daily driving and weekend escapes, and that brief carries through to the tyre choice. An electric SUV of this size needs a tyre that is quiet, efficient and genuinely capable in the wet, all at once.
The fitment
- DUNLOP SP Sport Maxx 060: 235/50R20 104V
The 20-inch fitment pairs with the AWD Touring’s larger alloys, keeping the stance purposeful without giving away ride comfort.
The DUNLOP SP Sport Maxx 060 is the original equipment fitment on the Trailseeker AWD Touring specifically. Fitments can vary across a model range, so it’s worth checking your own vehicle’s tyre placard or sidewall before you replace.
An Australian-market fitment
Original equipment can differ from one market to another. The same model is often tuned for local conditions, and tyre choice is part of that. In Australia, the Trailseeker AWD Touring rides on the SP Sport Maxx 060.
That detail matters most when replacement time comes around. Fitting the tyre your car was engineered and signed off on keeps it driving as the factory intended.
Engineered for the way an EV drives
The SP Sport Maxx 060 fitted to the Trailseeker was developed around the specific demands of a battery electric vehicle.
The tread pattern is optimised to keep noise down. This matters more in an EV, where there is no engine note to mask road roar, so the tyre carries a larger share of the cabin’s quietness.
A new tread compound reduces rolling resistance. The less energy a tyre absorbs as it rolls, the less the battery has to work, which supports the vehicle’s driving range between charges.
None of that comes at the expense of control. The 060 delivers high-level handling stability along with strong wet-weather performance, so the efficiency gains sit on a proper performance foundation.
What OE selection means
DUNLOP has delivered over 9,600 individual OE fitments for the world’s leading car makers over the past decade. The Trailseeker adds another to the list, and extends a long collaboration with Subaru into its electric line-up.
