There are definitely good and bad manufacturers in the tyre world. While the bad ones include mostly unknown manufacturers from China, the good and quality ones include Dunlop tyres. The history of this brand dates back to 1888, under rather curious circumstances. John Boyd Dunlop, a veterinarian at the time, upgraded his son's tricycle with rubber bands, which he glued to the metal hoops of the wheels and inflated with air. At the time, he could hardly have expected to lay the foundations for what is now a global brand. It didn't take long for a full-fledged tyre to see the light of day. Just as the development of the automobile has progressed, so too has the development of these tyres. A major step towards innovation was the development of motor racing, where Dunlop tyres were part of a number of prestigious teams. And it was important data from the racing circuits that was further used to design tyres for everyday use. And the same is true now. This is the only way Dunlop can not only compete with other manufacturers, but also keep up with customer demands, especially for driving safety. And that goes for both winter and summer tyres. This fact is confirmed by the Dunlop Sport BluResponse, which came a perfect third in the summer tyre test. The Dunlop SP Sport Fastresponse could also celebrate a similar success. The company is not lagging behind in winter tyres either. This is evidenced by the second place of the SP Winter Response 2, or the relatively good position of the SP WinterSport 4D. These are all irrefutable arguments that more than 120 years of hard work and demanding development must be clearly evident. And this is confirmed not only by car drivers, but also by motorcyclists, for whom there is also quite a wide range of quality tyres that can ensure that every ride always ends in the desired destination. And it's not only the developers who are trying to do this, but of course also the workers in several factories around the world.
