As part of its business development, Toki\u0107 Group, the leading tire distributor in the region, has expanded its range of parts, equipment, tools, and tires by becoming the official distributor of the world\u2019s oldest tire brand \u2013 Dunlop, which is currently experiencing a strong comeback under the leadership of its new owner.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The legendary Dunlop, supported by a new global strategy and its transition to the Sumitomo Group, is entering the Croatian and Slovenian markets with the support of Toki\u0107 Group as the strongest regional tire distributor.<\/span>
\n<\/span>A major strategic shift for Dunlop occurred at the beginning of 2026, when the Japanese corporation Sumitomo Rubber Industries (SRI) acquired the rights to the Dunlop brand for passenger car and light commercial vehicle tires from Goodyear. Sumitomo is currently the sixth-largest tire manufacturer in the world, and with Falken and Dunlop in its portfolio, this position has strong potential for further growth.<\/p>\n

Five-Year Warranty<\/h4>\n

As a legendary brand, Dunlop is credited with inventing the world\u2019s first tire in 1888, when Scottish veterinarian John Boyd Dunlop developed and patented the first pneumatic tire. During the 1960s, Dunlop was among the first to recognize the phenomenon of aquaplaning, which remains crucial today for maintaining safe tire grip on wet surfaces.<\/p>\n

Dunlop and Falken, globally recognized brands with numerous original equipment references, are available through the sales channels of Toki\u0107 Group \u2014 including Bartog in Slovenia \u2014 with a five-year warranty that starts from the moment of sale, rather than from the date indicated by the DOT marking printed on the tire.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Program for Safety and Driving Enjoyment<\/h4>\n

With a focus on safety, performance, and a premium driving experience, Dunlop brings innovative tire models such as Sport Maxx Race 2, Sport Maxx GT, Sport Maxx RT2, and Sport Response, while the new Sport BluResponse model will soon be introduced to the market. The offer also includes Econodrive tires for light commercial vehicles, as well as the Sport Classic model designed for classic cars.
\n<\/span>Dunlop tires will be available to drivers and service centers in Croatia and Slovenia through the Toki\u0107 Group distribution network, offering fast logistics, wide product availability, and expert support from specialized sales advisors.<\/span><\/p>\n
