Which country is the Dunlop tire brand from?

Dunlop tires are a Japanese tire brand. The development history of Dunlop tires and precautions for tire usage are as follows: Development history of Dunlop tires: Dunlop tires originated in the UK. In 1985, Dunlop tires were acquired by Japan's Sumitomo and now have production bases in both Japan and China. The domestically produced Dunlop tires have appropriately lowered the positioning of some smaller tire models to meet the needs of almost all vehicle types in the domestic market. Precautions for tire usage: Generally, the replacement cycle for tires is 3-5 years or 30,000-50,000 kilometers. However, if the tire tread wears to within 4mm of the wear limit indicator, which is about 6mm from the deepest groove, they should be replaced.
Dunlop tires are actually what we commonly refer to as Dunlop tires, a brand that originated in the UK. In the late 19th century, a British man named John Boyd Dunlop invented pneumatic tires in Ireland, initially for his bicycle, which later evolved into an international brand when applied to automobiles. Although Dunlop has been acquired by the American company Goodyear, its roots remain in the UK, and it is globally recognized for its high performance and durability. Having studied automotive parts history, I know this brand is particularly famous in racing circles, such as in F1 events, because of its excellent grip, durability, and strong safety record. As an experienced driver, I believe understanding a brand's origins is important—it helps in making more confident choices when selecting tires, especially since British products often excel in precision and innovation. In today's market, Dunlop tires are also widely available in China, sold in many 4S shops and repair centers. If car owners are looking for reliable tires, they might consider trying various series from this brand, which offer great value for money at an affordable price.
