John Boyd Dunlop’s son complained that his solid tyre tricycle was uncomfortable and jarred as he rode along the stony streets on his way to school. John Boyd came up with the idea to wrap a rubber tyre inflated with air round the rims of his son’s tricycle and tested it by rolling it along the floor. The pneumatic tyre went much further compared to the solid tyre. John Boyd Dunlop had made history! 1888 Dunlop knew that his invention had endless potential and commercial possibilities. He patented his ‘chamber of rubber or other suitable material to contain air under pressure or otherwise, fastened to the rim by the most convenient method’ or, as we’ve come to know it, the tyre. In the years following this revolutionary invention, Dunlop has gone on to celebrate a dazzling history of performance innovation, motorsport achievements and technological advancements. 1890 Dunlop opened its first tyre plant in Dublin. 1924 Dunlop and Bentley achieve their first victory at Le Mans, the Grand Prix of Endurance. 1935 Dunlop officially opens its first tyre factory in Durban and manufactures the first car tyre in South Africa.
