The Dunlop Legacy Continues

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – Get ready for an exciting range of tire lines for sports car enthusiasts, luxury sedans, and premium trucks and SUVs from the iconic Dunlop brand. In addition to our ongoing commitment to supplying vehicle manufacturers with the highest-quality Original Equipment tires, we are excited to continue our legacy of excellence by introducing two all-new replacement product lines: Sport Maxx RS and Blue Response A/S.

Sport Maxx RS

Sport Maxx RS is Dunlop’s flagship Summer Ultra-High Performance tire. Tailored for drivers of exotic and enthusiast performance vehicles, the Sport Maxx RS features an advanced tread compound reinforced with silica and fine carbon particles along with a blend of high-grip resins. This compound provides enhanced traction on the road surface in all driving conditions, offering improved dry and wet grip. The asymmetric tread pattern, featuring wide outer shoulder blocks and a larger contact patch, improves cornering power and ensures high-speed stability. Rigid tread block elements stabilize and optimize pressure distribution in the tire’s contact patch for precise handling. Combining all these elements yields maximum dry and wet traction, braking, handling, and steering precision, resulting in unmatched performance and driving enjoyment. With a lineup of over 80 sizes ranging from 17 to 22 inches, covering all the most popular staggered fitments, Sport Maxx RS delivers maximum tire performance for today’s premium sport vehicles.

Blue Response A/S

Blue Response A/S marks Dunlop’s entry into the All-Season Premium Touring segment. Crafted for exceptional tread life and highway handling, the Blue Response A/S delivers a smooth and comfortable ride for long commutes. Dunlop utilizes silica particles to create a tread compound that improves fuel economy and provides optimal traction on dry and wet surfaces, as well as in light snow. Blue Response A/S features a round profile design that suppresses tire deformation stress and unnecessary energy consumption, effectively reducing rolling resistance while also improving handling stability and ride comfort. The symmetric tread pattern featuring Variable Array technology reduces pattern noise to deliver a quiet ride, and 3D Waveform Grooves reduce degradation of hydroplaning performance as the tire wears. Wear indicators are thoughtfully positioned in the shoulder area for easy visibility, drawing attention to vehicle alignment issues or the need for tire rotation. With an 80,000-mile tread life warranty and a full lineup of 80 sizes, Blue Response A/S meets all your touring tire needs for today’s premium and luxury vehicles.

Stay tuned for the upcoming release of Sport Maxx RS, Blue Response A/S, a Highway Luxury offering for Light Trucks and SUVs, plus other exciting new products that will mark the beginning of Dunlop’s return to the North American market.
