Dunlop vs Kumho:
A Tyre Brand Comparison

Dunlop Tyres

Dunlop began in 1888 when John Dunlop added a rubber sheet to his son's metal bicycle wheel and the rest is history. Over the following 131 years, Dunlop - now owned by the Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Company - has enabled the brand to offer a wide variety of tyre products for all types of driving conditions. Their patented Multi-Radius Tread Technology evenly distributes pressure to improve cornering, overall handling and braking. Dunlops are also laced with DuPont Kevlar, helping to create stronger sidewalls and making each tyre durable and long-lasting. Dunlop has also racked up major motorsport experience, participating in all kinds of racing leagues since 1902, dominating Le Mans and F1 throughout the next century, breaking many a land speed record and introducing new technology that has kept the industry moving forward in the future. One of their most popular tyres available on Tyroola.com.au is the SP Sport Maxx, a summer tyre made for high-performance sports cars and sedans.

Kumho Tyres

Kumho is a South Korean brand known for its innovations including their ESCOT technology which maintains tyre shape longer whatever the speed. As far as their pedigree goes, they've most notably been involved in rallying and have a bit of experience using their tyres in circuit racing. Their range of tyres is pretty impressive, there's something for luxury to extreme sports use and also more conservative ECO and touring tyres for passenger cars. Prices start from $80 to over $400 each. They also have a range of off-road tyres that perform very well. The Kumho Ecsta 4X KU22 for example is a tyre made for high-performance sports cars and sedans that handles all types of weather conditions perfectly without sacrificing comfort and safety. Kumho has even designed tyres for electric cars called ECOTRON, which reduces rolling resistance up to 45%, as well as emissions. Since more and more manufacturers are going electric and eco-friendly, you may find yourself getting a Kumho set of eco-friendly tyres in the near future.
