In 2025, Sumitomo Rubber Industries acquired Goodyear’s Dunlop brand rights in Europe, North America and Oceania and today leads Dunlop globally.
The move brought key Dunlop tyre operations under more direct Sumitomo ownership, helping to unify the brand’s global direction, while continuing to focus on performance, reliability and driver confidence.

The difference in spelling between tyres/tires depends on the type of English language a certain nation uses. In the United Kingdom, Dunlop would market their products as 'tyres', as the UK uses British English as their language and grammar. In the United States, where they use American English, the word is spelled 'tires'.
Dunlop tyres are renowned for their durability and longevity. On average, Dunlop tyres can last between 40,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on driving conditions, maintenance, and tyre models. Regular tyre inspections, proper inflation, and timely replacements of worn-out tyres are essential for extending their lifespan and ensuring consistent performance.

These codes encompass important details such as width, aspect ratio, load and speed ratings, construction type, and wheel diameter. Furthermore, the brand name, range, and specific information regarding tire pressure, wear indicators, and suitability for winter conditions are also listed.
