Tires Dunlop SP Sport 01

Now, dear reader, you will learn how the English company Dunlop changed the look of mankind to the usual, it would seem, thing - the tire. You will see the way from simple bicycle wheels to the masterpiece of Dunlop SP Sport 01 full of work and perseverance.

In 1889, the British company Birmingham founded a company for the production of pneumatic tires, which was named "DUNLOP" in honor of their inventor - John Dunlop. In the beginning, bicycle tires were produced , and only in 1893 automobile production was launched. There are branches in Europe: in Austria, Germany, Canada and France. In 1896, the company created the first testing laboratory for tires, analogues of which in the world did not exist yet. Within two years, solid rubber tires almost everywhere replaced with pneumatic tires.

Over the next 30 years, the production of aviation and agricultural tires was established. By 1956, DUNLOP introduced the first tire with a rain protector for the competition "Formula 1". Two years later, nylon cord was used in these tires, which significantly reduced the weight of the wheel. Until 1977, the company was the only supplier of tires for these races. Since 1962 in the production of tires began to use synthetic rubber. Currently, this technology is used in all plants and allows you to increase the speed when driving a car. The Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT is specially designed for sports cars. It has a double cord of steel and gives the driver the perfect handling at high speed.

Over the next few years, the company's specialists were the first in the development of the tires of the Denovo system, (predecessors Dunlop SP Sport 01), which allows to move with a punctured tire a sufficiently long distance - over a hundred kilometers - at a speed of 75-80 km / h. The cost of such tires was quite high, but the introduction of new technologies allowed it to be reduced. Due to this, Dunlop was able to start supplying such tires to the leading automobile manufacturers, which install them in the base configuration. Of course, it's a pity that our Russian cars are not equipped with such tires and are unlikely to be completed in the near future.

Some models of tires, for example Dunlop SP Sport 01, have won truly national love of motorists. In the design of their tread, engineers combined the most important elements: safety, quietness, speed, which are achieved through an asymmetric figure. And the car is provided with optimal behavior on the road under any conditions and condition of asphalt covering. This model is an ideal option for all kinds of sedans.

For all-wheel drive vehicles , the Dunlop SP Sport 7000 model is created, which has a versatile A / S pattern - all-season. And special additives in the rubber make it possible to use it both on hot asphalt and during the cold rainy season. This feature is most relevant for our country, when all motorists delay the replacement of rubber in the off-season, which is why it is simply unrealistic to get onto vulcanization after the first snow fell. These tires are popular in the same way as the Dunlop SP Sport 01.

It is impossible to overestimate the contribution of Dunlop to the development of tire production. Its engineers were virtually the first in everything: they created models with grousers on the sides and used both rubber and steel spikes, embodied the idea of using a tire without a camera. SUMITOMO RUBBER Industries is the corporation to which DUNLOP belongs. To date, it has a solid scientific base, and this allows it for many years to remain one of the leaders in the production of tires throughout the world. Today, the tires of the brand Dunlop produce nine countries on three continents: in America, in Asia, in Europe.
