Global tyre brands take their place at the top table of UK tyre safety as TyreSafe welcomes DUNLOP and FALKEN
TyreSafe is proud to announce that DUNLOP and FALKEN have joined the charity as official supporters, reinforcing their commitment to improving road safety and helping reduce tyre-related incidents across the UK.
The move sees the two globally recognised brands join TyreSafe, and represents a significant milestone for the charity, further strengthening its ability to engage motorists, influence policy discussions and deliver impactful road safety campaigns at a time when tyre safety has never been more important.
Strengthening Representation Across the Tyre Industry
Together, DUNLOP and FALKEN represent a substantial and influential segment of the UK and European tyre market, with strong positions across premium, performance, SUV, passenger car and light commercial vehicle sectors.
Their addition broadens the range of manufacturers actively supporting TyreSafe’s mission and ensures that even more motorists can benefit from consistent, evidence-based tyre safety messaging delivered through trusted household names.
The partnership also reflects growing recognition across the tyre industry that road safety challenges can only be addressed through collaboration, shared expertise and collective action.
As the UK begins implementing its first national Road Safety Strategy in 15 years, bringing together leading manufacturers under a common purpose has never been more important.
What This Means for Road Users
For consumers, the partnership will help amplify the reach of vital tyre safety education and awareness campaigns.
TyreSafe’s work is focused on helping road users understand the importance of maintaining their tyres correctly, checking pressures regularly, monitoring tread depth and identifying dangerous defects before they lead to incidents on the road.
By combining TyreSafe’s expertise with the technical knowledge, research capabilities and consumer reach of DUNLOP and FALKEN, the partnership creates new opportunities to educate motorists, support behavioural change and encourage proactive vehicle maintenance.
The collaboration is also expected to support future research and data-sharing initiatives, helping strengthen the evidence base behind tyre safety campaigns and providing further insight into emerging road safety challenges.
A Seat at the Top Table
DUNLOP and FALKEN’s involvement ensures that the experience, expertise and perspective of two major global tyre brands can contribute directly to the development of future campaigns, partnerships and initiatives designed to improve road safety outcomes.
The announcement further reinforces TyreSafe’s position as the UK’s leading independent tyre safety charity, bringing together manufacturers, retailers, enforcement agencies, road safety organisations and government stakeholders behind a shared mission to save lives through safer tyres.
Stuart Lovatt Welcomes DUNLOP and FALKEN
Commenting on the announcement, TyreSafe Chair Stuart Lovatt said, “We are absolutely delighted to welcome both DUNLOP and FALKEN to TyreSafe.
Their decision to join TyreSafe demonstrates a clear commitment to road safety. This is significant not only for TyreSafe, but for road users. The more leading manufacturers we can bring together around a shared vision for safer roads, the greater our ability to influence behaviour, share expertise, generate evidence and deliver life-saving safety messages.
The publication of the Government’s new national Road Safety Strategy has created a renewed focus on casualty reduction across the UK. Achieving those ambitious goals will require genuine collaboration between industry, government, enforcement and road safety organisations, and we are excited to have DUNLOP and FALKEN joining us on that journey.”
Markus Bögner, President and Managing Director, Dunlop Tyre Europe and FALKEN Tyres Europe, said “We are delighted to join TyreSafe and become part of an organisation that has played such an important role in improving tyre safety awareness across the UK for more than two decades.
At DUNLOP and FALKEN, safety, innovation and performance are at the heart of everything we do. As manufacturers, we recognise that delivering world-class products is only part of the equation; helping road users understand the importance of tyre maintenance and vehicle safety is equally important.
TyreSafe has built a strong reputation for bringing together industry, enforcement, government and road safety partners to drive meaningful change, and we are proud to be joining that community. We believe that by working collaboratively and sharing expertise, we can help raise awareness of the vital role tyres play in keeping people safe on the roads.
We look forward to supporting TyreSafe’s mission and contributing to initiatives that encourage safer journeys for road users across the UK.”
Looking Ahead
TyreSafe will work closely with DUNLOP and FALKEN to identify opportunities for collaboration across research, education, awareness campaigns and industry engagement activities.
Together, the organisations will seek to strengthen public understanding of tyre safety, encourage regular vehicle maintenance and contribute towards the shared goal of reducing preventable incidents on UK roads.
The partnership sends a powerful signal that tyre safety remains a priority for the industry’s leading manufacturers and that collective action will continue to play a vital role in helping deliver safer journeys for all road users.
