About Dunlop
John Boyd Dunlop By creating the first practical pneumatic tire in 1888, John Boyd Dunlop began more than a tire company—he pioneered an entire industry

Driven by innovative technology, Dunlop introduced the first use of Kevlar belts in motorcycle tires; produced the first original-equipment radial street tire; and continues to lead the industry with revolutionary firsts, such as the 20-inch front tire for off-road use, and premium tires for mini-bike riders who may be short in stature but are long on talent.
