Dunloptires.com is the official digital home for Dunlop Tires, one of the most storied brands in automotive history. Founded in 1888 by John Boyd Dunlop, who invented the first practical pneumatic tyre, the brand has been a pioneer in tyre technology for over 135 years. In 2025, the brand underwent a significant global unification under the ownership of Sumitomo Rubber Industries (SRI), which acquired the remaining distribution and trademark rights for North America, Europe, and Oceania from Goodyear. This move consolidated the “Flying D” brand into a singular global entity focused on high-performance engineering.
The website serves as a technical resource and retail portal, highlighting Dunlop’s expertise in “Ultra High Performance” (UHP) tyres for passenger cars, light trucks, and motorcycles. It showcases the brand’s immense motorsport heritage—including a record 34 victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans—and translates that track technology into consumer products like the Sport Maxx and Signature series. Recent updates to the platform emphasize the brand’s new global statement, “Taking You Beyond,” and feature their latest innovations, such as the Blue Response A/S, a premium all-season touring tyre designed for modern efficiency and comfort.
