The name of the famous British tire brand - Dunlop - is consonant with the name of the founder of a branched corporation and the inventor of the first pneumatic tire - John Dunlop. That is why it is associated with the prosperity of the tire industry.
However, in general, the firm's success is due to a number of other aspects. And the main one is a rich practical experience in the development of tires for various purposes and the development of production in accordance with the requirements of the time.
Dunlop Summer and Winter Tire Market Steps
The history of Dunlop began in 1888 (when its first director acquired a patent for his invention) with the release of bicycles and universal bicycle tires. But when the auto era replaced the period of "reign" of previously known modes of transport, the firm aimed at success began to rapidly expand its range. This is how Dunlop car tires, developed taking into account scientific and engineering innovations, appeared, which motorists from different parts of Europe, Australia and America have gained the opportunity to buy.
Further achievements of the company were associated with experimental research and development of new technologies. The most famous of these achievements for car owners are:
- the beginning of the use of practical latex foam in the production process;
- Dunlop functional winter tires on the basis of a rubber compound with water-repellent properties and a number of others.
In the early years of Formula 1, professional racing teams sought to buy Dunlop summer tires that were made using other science. In this regard, the company was recognized as the official supplier of tires for the championship.
Today, individual varieties of these tires help in achieving their cherished goals not only for the brave conquerors of Moscow roads, but also for lovers of a quiet ride, as well as owners of agricultural machinery. And thousands of owners of different types of transport from a number of countries in which Dunlop summer tires and their other modifications are produced and sold today have already made sure that they are characterized by:
- amazing stability;
- accuracy;
- sensitivity;
- durability
The actual advantages of these tires over their competitors are achieved through specially designed tread patterns, correct lug geometry and tested designs. The company's next innovation, according to its forecasts, will be the so-called "smart" tires, which have exclusive features (and completely innovative equipment.

Dunlop was founded in England in 1888. It is named after its founder, whose name was John Dunlop. He was the owner of a patent for the invention of pneumatic tires (later he invented tubeless and water-repellent rubber, as well as a multi-row tread).
Today, 75% of the shares of the English concern are owned by the American company Goodyear, and the remaining 25% by the Japanese corporation Sumitomo Rubber Industries. Dunlop tires are manufactured at manufacturing sites around the world, and their performance is tested at proving grounds in Japan. The raw material used is high-quality rubber grown on plantations in Ceylon and Malaysia.
The brand's products are the official tires of the GT races held in Scotland. The main advantages are:
- high adhesion coefficient;

About the manufacturer
Dunlop's history began in 1888 when John Boyd Dunlop invented the first pneumatic tire. Initially, the manufacturer produced them for bicycles, but the development of the automotive industry gave a new impetus to development. The company was the first in the world to open a tire testing laboratory. Today, products are manufactured at the factories of the Bridgestone and GoodYear concerns. The brand's line includes a large selection of models - summer, winter, all-season.

Summer car tire Dunlop SP Sport 01 is addressed to drivers who prefer an aggressive driving style. The make and model of the car is practically irrelevant, as this model is available in an exceptionally wide range of sizes from 14 to 21 inches in diameter.
Especially for this tire, the company's specialists have developed a completely new asymmetric tread pattern, which is called Tri-AreaTread. As the name implies, the tread pattern consists of three functional zones, each of which is designed to solve a specific problem. This design solution is designed to provide an optimal balance of performance when driving in various road conditions.
Center tread Dunlop SP Sport 01 It is occupied by four longitudinal ribs, which are characterized by a one-piece and therefore rigid structure. Due to this, the tire demonstrates exceptional stability when driving even at very high speeds.
The shoulder area of the tread, located on its inner side, mainly performs a drainage function, providing high resistance to aquaplaning. It is this part of the tread that is equipped with the so-called "hydrolobes", i.e. a system of drainage channels, the shape of which resembles blades. Their curved shape prevents the occurrence of turbulence in the flow of water, which increases the speed of its passage through these channels.
The outer side of the tread pattern consists of separate blocks. Their sharp edges contribute to increased braking efficiency, especially on slippery roads.
Another innovation was an additional layer of carcass made of nylon fibers wound using seamless technology. This layer provides, due to the stability of the shape of the tire, a more even distribution of external pressure over the contact patch, which not only allows for more confident behavior at high speed, but also effectively prevents the occurrence of uneven wear.
Main features of the Dunlop SP Sport 01 tire
- Unique Tri-AreaTread tread provides the perfect balance of performance regardless of road conditions
— Exceptional resistance to aquaplaning, due to the special shape of the drainage channels in the shoulder area of the tread;
- Four rigid longitudinal ribs, due to which the tire demonstrates exceptional stability when driving, even at very high speeds.
* Attention: summer tires of non-Russian origin can be marked with the designation M + S

About Dunlop tires
Dunlop owes its existence to a tricycle ridden by the son of Scottish veterinarian John Boyd Dunlop. A caring father noticed the inconvenience and discomfort arising from the cast rubber wheels of a children's vehicle. To get rid of these shortcomings, the doctor wrapped the tire with several layers of rubber, pumping some air into them. The result was the world's first pneumatic tire, a patent for which was issued on June 3, 1888.
Pneumatic Tire & Booths Cycle Agency Ltd.
That was the name of the company, which was headed by John Dunlop in 1889. For the first four years of its existence, it was engaged in the production of exclusively pneumatic bicycle tires. In 1893, a landmark event took place in the history of this company - the production of automobile pneumatic tires began. This coincided with the beginning of the mass production of cars, thanks to which Dunlop tires appeared first in France, Austria and Germany, and then in Canada.
Dunlop Pmeumatic Tire Company
The company received this name in 1896, while acquiring the world's first laboratory for testing automobile tires, and then aircraft tires, the production of which was launched in 1911. The First World War, unfortunately or fortunately, forced the company to switch to military orders. However, scientific development did not stop, as a result of which the British manufacturer began producing agricultural tires in 1929, on which side lugs appeared for the first time in the world a year later.
Formula 1
The history of the "royal races" and the Dunlop company are inextricably linked with each other. In 1956, the British manufacturer offered the world's first "rain" tire for Formula 1 racing cars. And in 1958, a landmark event took place for the entire automotive world. We are talking about a nylon cord, which made it possible to reduce the weight of the tire by 30% without compromising the strength properties. Another innovation that had no less impact on the automotive world was introduced in 1962, when the company mastered the production of a rubber compound with synthetic rubber. Tires made from it made it possible to significantly increase the lap speed of a Formula 1 racing car.
Breakthrough technologies
It is extremely difficult to overestimate the impact on the design of an automobile pneumatic tire that the engineers of this British company had. After all, it was they who were the first to divide the tread pattern into several longitudinal rows, providing the tire with not only excellent directional stability, but also increased wear resistance.
It should also be noted that this British manufacturer was the first to be able to bring a tubeless tire to mass production, as well as a rubber compound with water-repellent properties. Thanks to this, it became possible to produce winter studless tires, from Graspic to SJ4, that have earned the trust of car enthusiasts around the world.
Technological leadership became possible thanks to the scientific base, which was laid back in the 20s of the last century. At the same time, the pneumatic tire was considered as an integral component of the car. It was through this understanding that the world's first tire testing laboratory was created. In 1960, scientific research made it possible to discover the effect of aquaplaning, and in 1983 to develop a stowaway tire, which is used by millions of motorists today.
Today, the broadest scientific base is actively used by the Goodyear concern, which includes a British company. But unlike Fulda, Kelly, Debica and Sava, this English manufacturer is not included in the so-called "second tier" category of tire companies, being one of the recognized world leaders in the development and production of automotive pneumatic tires.
