About Dunlop tires


Dunlop owes its existence to tricycle, which was driven by the son of Scottish veterinarian John Boyd Dunlop. A caring father noticed the inconvenience and discomfort arising from the cast rubber wheels of a children's vehicle. To get rid of these shortcomings, the doctor wrapped the tire with several layers of rubber, pumping some air into them. The result was the world's first pneumatic tire, a patent for which was issued on June 3, 1888.

Pneumatic Tire & Booths Cycle Agency Ltd.


That was the name of the company, which was headed by John Dunlop in 1889. For the first four years of its existence, it was engaged in the production of exclusively pneumatic bicycle tires. In 1893, a landmark event took place in the history of this company - the production of automobile pneumatic tires began. This coincided with the beginning of the mass production of cars, thanks to which Dunlop tires appeared first in France, Austria and Germany, and then in Canada.

Dunlop Pmeumatic Tire Company


The company received this name in 1896, while acquiring the world's first laboratory for testing automobile tires, and then aircraft tires, the production of which was launched in 1911. The First World War, unfortunately or fortunately, forced the company to switch to military orders. However, scientific development did not stop, as a result of which the British manufacturer began producing agricultural tires in 1929, on which side lugs appeared for the first time in the world a year later.

Formula 1


The history of the "royal races" and the Dunlop company are inextricably linked with each other. In 1956, the British manufacturer offered the world's first "rain" tire for Formula 1 racing cars. And in 1958, a landmark event took place for the entire automotive world. We are talking about a nylon cord, which made it possible to reduce the weight of the tire by 30% without compromising the strength properties. Another innovation that had no less impact on the automotive world was introduced in 1962, when the company mastered the production of a rubber compound with synthetic rubber. Tires made from it made it possible to significantly increase the lap speed of a Formula 1 racing car.

Breakthrough technologies


It is extremely difficult to overestimate the impact on the design of an automobile pneumatic tire that the engineers of this British company had. After all, it was they who were the first to divide the tread pattern into several longitudinal rows, providing the tire with not only excellent directional stability, but also increased wear resistance.

It should also be noted that this British manufacturer was the first to be able to bring a tubeless tire to mass production, as well as a rubber compound with water-repellent properties. Thanks to this, it became possible to produce winter studless tires, from Graspic to SJ4, that have earned the trust of car enthusiasts around the world.

Technological leadership became possible thanks to the scientific base, which was laid back in the 20s of the last century. At the same time, the pneumatic tire was considered as an integral component of the car. It was through this understanding that the world's first tire testing laboratory was created. In 1960, scientific research made it possible to discover the effect of aquaplaning, and in 1983 to develop a stowaway tire, which is used by millions of motorists today.

Today, the broadest scientific base is actively used by the Goodyear concern, which includes a British company. But unlike Fulda, Kelly, Debica and Sava, this English manufacturer is not included in the so-called "second tier" category of tire companies, being one of the recognized world leaders in the development and production of automotive pneumatic tires.

Advantages

The experience is small, but during this time there were no complaints. Quiet, comfortable, no cuts or punctures. In turns keeps exactly, in a rut is not very stormy.

Flaws

Not seen.

Moderate driving style, fast acceleration and no sudden braking. In turns without skidding. Therefore, about athletic qualities rubber hard to say.

Advantages

Quiet, comfort

I took it on F25 performed by Ranflet in the 17th radius. This car is a great choice. Absolutely no run-flat feel (on this car and in this size), no rumble, no noise, no wooden feel. Excellent combination of price / quality. I won’t say for sports qualities, since a high profile and a high car are not a sport a priori. But in regular and moderately active driving modes - the tire rides like the car itself - as expected. An interesting review is similar to this tire - Pirelli Senturato R7. Who put in the amount of 225/60/17 unsubscribe, the sensations are just as good and positive?

Advantages

I can't say anything bad compared to the regular Continental. They make no more noise, they hold the road both dry and wet. They brake well. What I noticed is that they are more difficult to put into axle boxes on dry pavement, and I like it.

Flaws

I didn't notice any obvious flaws. True, the production of these tires is Indonesia, I don’t know if this should be considered a disadvantage.

They are definitely worth their money.

Advantages

Price / quality are comparable. Quite satisfied for a budget car. For riders look for more expensive.

Flaws

Didn't notice much while driving. Everything was fine with optimal and not high-speed driving.

Recommended for quiet drivers.

Advantages

Soft, keeps well on the road, as well as in the honey season

Flaws

Rubber departed 100 thousand km. It could have been more, but it became uncomfortable in the rain. Breaks into hydroplaning at a speed of 90 km / h. Did a great job in the offseason. You can change shoes a little early in the spring and later in the fall. That is, do not rub the spikes. I'm very pleased with the rubber. I'm buying a new one.

Advantages

Handling is no problem at all, both on a dry surface and on a wet one, and in the spring I got into an unexpected snow blizzard, they rolled the ice crust in one fell swoop, at first it cracked slightly, and then I was just shocked by the fact that the rubber made it possible not only to calmly ride in such situations, and not even worry about anything when he started to struggle with the speed limit. So I want to say that a very decent tire is definitely worth the money, and even better than many of those that are more expensive will be 1.5 times !!!

Flaws

did not reveal

There were tires on the Prado 150 3.0 diesel

Advantages

behaves well in the rain on the pavement, holds the pavement well at high speeds, brakes well both in wet and dry weather

Flaws

noise, poor grip on dirt roads, categorically does not welcome dirt, even a wet roadside in black soil ... does not balance well

skated until the season, holds the road very worthy, is not afraid of a sudden wet asphalt, and puddles too, the braking distance is really shorter than that of domestic counterparts, relatively low price, but only he doesn’t like primers (after 70 km / h the car starts to miss the road), sand on asphalt (he doesn’t like it very much, it slips, slows down badly), it’s better not to get into the mud at all, the tread immediately clogs and you can go for help, with at low temperatures from +7 to 0, it warms up quite quickly and confidently clings to the ASPHALT, but the infection is a bit noisy, it even seemed to me that the winter amtel was one position noisier, it didn’t show itself badly in the first snow, though I wouldn’t recommend meeting winter on this rubber P.S. drove about 22,000 km on it, wear is average (very intensively used), I think it will be enough for another two seasons, i.e. 40-45 thousand, well, we'll see, time will tell

Flaws

Terribly soft, wild wear, absolutely unstable on the road, "magnet" for self-tapping screws

The first problem - 2 weeks after the start of use (beginning of June), a hernia on the front wheel, which appeared from nowhere. The result - the replacement of one cylinder. Further, while driving, I felt a hard rut. Thinking that maybe the tires had not yet been rolled in, I left as a pensioner for about a week. But, to my surprise, after a week the effect was exactly the same. Well, then it started ... I caught self-tapping screws on different wheels with a frequency of 2-3 weeks ... 2 hernias on the rear wheel, 1 hernia on the front wheel ... Side cut on the rear wheel (during the cut, the cord was exposed and it became visible that it is almost without reinforcement ...) Before selling the car (4 months after the start of use), I decided to see what kind of wear and tear, so that in which case I could take them to another car. Depreciation amounted to (attention!) 60%!!! I realized that there was no point in taking it with me, I left it with the car. As a result: for 4 months of operation only in the city (mainly cad) 4 hernias on different wheels (one of them is of such a size that it was not possible to drive), a total of 10 punctures, a rather large lateral cut. With such wear and tear - enough rubber for 2 seasons. Everything is explained very simply: the rubber is very soft, at temperatures above +20 you can hear it sticking to the asphalt. Suitable for people who go shopping by car 2 times a week to the nearest supermarket and travel at a speed of 60 km / h. For others, I highly recommend it. Before that, there were Pirelli P Zero - I was happy as an elephant.

Advantages

Excellent tires, good road holding, minimum aquaplaning.

Flaws

I've been on this tire for 5 months. To be honest, I drive aggressively. Given my ride, there are no complaints about the rubber.

Summer car tire Dunlop SP Sport 01 is addressed to drivers who prefer an aggressive driving style. The make and model of the vehicle is practically irrelevant, since this model is available in an exceptionally wide range of sizes from 14 to 21 inches in diameter.

Especially for this tire, the company's specialists have developed a completely new asymmetric tread pattern, which is called Tri-AreaTread. As the name implies, the tread pattern consists of three functional zones, each of which is designed to solve a specific problem. This design solution is designed to provide an optimal balance performance characteristics when driving in various road conditions.

Center tread Dunlop SP Sport 01 It is occupied by four longitudinal ribs, which are characterized by a one-piece and therefore rigid structure. Due to this, the tire demonstrates exceptional stability when driving even at very high speeds.

The shoulder area of ​​the tread, located with its inside, mainly performs a drainage function, providing high resistance to aquaplaning. It is this part of the tread that is equipped with the so-called "hydrolobes", i.e. a system of drainage channels, the shape of which resembles blades. Their curved shape prevents the occurrence of turbulence in the flow of water, which increases the speed of its passage through these channels.

The outer side of the tread pattern consists of separate blocks. Their sharp edges contribute to increased braking efficiency, especially on slippery roads.
Another innovation was an additional layer of carcass made of nylon fibers wound using seamless technology. This layer provides, due to the stability of the shape of the tire, a more even distribution of external pressure over the contact patch, which not only allows for more confident behavior at high speed, but also effectively prevents the occurrence of uneven wear.

Main features of the Dunlop SP Sport 01 tire

- Unique Tri-AreaTread tread provides the perfect balance of performance regardless of road conditions
— Exceptional resistance to aquaplaning, due to the special shape of the drainage channels in the shoulder area of ​​the tread;
- Four rigid longitudinal ribs, due to which the tire demonstrates exceptional stability when driving, even at very high speeds.

* Attention: summer tires non-Russian origin can be marked with the designation M+S

The name of the famous British tire brand - Dunlop - is consonant with the name of the founder of a branched corporation and the inventor of the first pneumatic tire - John Dunlop. That is why it is associated with the prosperity of the tire industry.

However, in general, the firm's success is due to a number of other aspects. And the main one is a rich practical experience in the development of tires for various purposes and the development of production in accordance with the requirements of the time.

Dunlop Summer and Winter Tire Market Steps

The history of Dunlop began in 1888 (when its first director acquired a patent for his invention) with the release of bicycles and universal bicycle tires. But when the auto era replaced the period of "reign" of previously known modes of transport, the company aimed at success began to rapidly expand its range. This is how Dunlop car tires, developed taking into account scientific and engineering innovations, appeared, which motorists from different parts of Europe, Australia and America have gained the opportunity to buy.

Further achievements of the company were associated with experimental research and development of new technologies. The most famous of these achievements for car owners are:

  • the beginning of the use of practical latex foam in the production process;
  • functional Winter tires Dunlop on the basis of a rubber compound with water-repellent properties and a number of others.

In the early years of Formula 1, professional racing teams sought to buy Dunlop summer tires that were made using other science. In this regard, the company was recognized as the official supplier of tires for the championship.

Today, individual varieties of these tires help in achieving their cherished goals not only for the brave conquerors of Moscow roads, but also for lovers of a quiet ride, as well as owners of agricultural machinery.
