Dunlop is a renowned name in the tire industry worldwide and it has been a symbol of innovation and performance for over a century. Dunlop tyres, well known for their quality and reliability, are a popular choice for a large number of drivers. Yet, they have their particular advantages and drawbacks.

Dunlop Tyres is a brand of tyres which is managed by different companies around the world. It was founded by pneumatic tyre pioneer John Boyd Dunlop in Belfast, Ireland, in 1888. The brand is operated by Goodyear in North America (passenger car & light truck), Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Once your tyres have been on your car for five years, Dunlop recommends having them inspected properly at least once a year. Age deteriorates your tyres regardless of whether or not you drive on them, and it is recommended to get them replaced at the very least every ten years, even if they don't look worn.

Date of Manufacture On the side wall next to the U.S. DOT tire identification number you will find a 4-digit number. The first 2 digits indicate the week of its manufacture and the last two are for the year. In our example, the 0916 translates to the 9th week in the year 2016.
