Where are Dunlop tires produced?
2 Answers
Dunlop tires are produced in the UK. Dunlop is a Japanese tire brand, owned by the Sumitomo Group. Dunlop's run-flat tires are commonly known as "run-flat tires". The characteristic of run-flat tires is that they can still travel a certain distance at a certain speed when the tire pressure is zero, greatly improving driving safety without the need for a spare tire. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, bearing various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperature effects during driving. Therefore, they must have relatively high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. According to their usage, tires can be divided into: passenger car tires, light truck tires, construction machinery tires, off-road vehicle tires, and agricultural and forestry machinery tires.
The production locations of Dunlop tires are indeed quite diverse. I've been following this brand since childhood and know it originated in the UK, but later expanded globally. Now, the Dunlop brand is owned by Goodyear, with factories spread across several countries, including China's Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, as well as several large plants in the US and Japan. When using Dunlop tires, I've found that the versions produced in China are quite reliable in quality, thanks to their strict international standard controls. These factories are distributed across Asia, Europe, and America, ensuring more stable supply. I've also noticed that some premium models are manufactured in Europe, such as the UK's original factory which is still operational. Overall, regardless of the production location, Dunlop maintains good durability. But when selecting tires, I recommend checking the label to confirm the origin.
