Dunlop

The history of the pneumatic tyre began one day in 1888 when Scotsman John Boyd Dunlop came up with the idea of wrapping a rubber tube inflated with air round the rims of the wheels on his son’s tricycle. And thus was the “light” rubber tyre born – an invention created for the purposes of a child’s play that was to revolutionize transport and lay the foundations of a major manufacturing company.

Since that time, Dunlop has continued to write some of the greatest pages in the history of the tyre.
