who started dunlop tires
Dunlop Tire was founded in 1888 in Belfast, Ireland. The company is named after John Boyd Dunlop, often accredited for developing the first pneumatic tire (filled with air pressure instead of solid). Today, Dunlop tires are manufactured in North and South America, as well as Asia and Europe. In addition to the tires for cars, crossovers, sport utility vehicles and light trucks available through Tire Rack, Dunlop also produces a wide range of tires for motorcycles, ATVs, competition go-carts, and commercial trucks.
