Dunlop: an asphalt brand without studs

A brand with a new owner in Europe

Dunlop was founded in 1888 and is named after the inventor of the pneumatic tyre. In Europe the brand has belonged to Sumitomo Rubber Industries since 7 May 2025, while Goodyear continues to produce and distribute Dunlop passenger car tyres under a transitional licence. In practice that means nothing changes for the buyer: the tyres, the warranty and the size range stay the same.

A sporting character, without studs

Dunlop in our offering is a brand of sportier character with a clear emphasis on asphalt. Sport Maxx and BluResponse are the summer lines, Winter Sport the winter one, Sport All Season the all-season one. The range runs from R14 to R22.

One thing to know upfront: there is not a single studded Dunlop tyre in our range. If you need studs, the choice is in the studded tyre section.

Who Dunlop suits best

Dunlop suits those who drive mainly on cleared asphalt in winter and value handling, and those looking for an all-season tyre with a sporting character. It also suits vans - versions with the C marking are available.

If you need studs or maximum grip on ice, our range has the Nordic specialist brands for that job. Winter tyres are compulsory in Latvia from 1 December to 1 March with a tread depth of at least 4 mm - this is set by the Road Traffic Law and explained by CSDD.

Frequently asked questions about Dunlop

Not one. The Dunlop winter lines in our offering are studless. If you need studs, look for them among other brands - there is a wider choice in the studded tyre section.
In Europe the brand has belonged to Sumitomo Rubber Industries since 7 May 2025. Goodyear continues to produce and distribute Dunlop passenger car tyres in Europe under a transitional licence, so for the buyer the tyre range and the warranty do not change.
It suits the city and the motorway - it is a Central European type of winter tyre, built for wet asphalt. For ungritted rural roads with ice, a Nordic or a studded tyre will suit better.
It does - the Sport All Season 2, available in a wide size range from R14 to R20. It has the 3PMSF marking and is valid for the winter period in Latvia.
SP is a historical Dunlop designation for passenger car tyre lines. It has no practical bearing on the choice - what matters is the model name after it, such as Sport Maxx or Winter Sport.
