DUNLOP’s new era begins with BLUE RESPONSE TG
BLUE RESPONSE TG tyre launches in spring 2026 in 99 sizes, 15 to 21 inches, series 40 to 65
Built for smooth handling, quiet comfort and confident wet-weather braking, it delivers a balanced performance that drivers can rely on every day
First DUNLOP product developed by SRI since the acquisition in 2025
DUNLOP today launches BLUE RESPONSE TG, a brand-new premium summer tyre for passenger cars and SUVs. Marking a new era for the brand in Europe, BLUE RESPONSE TG is the first DUNLOP product developed under Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. (SRI) since its acquisition of the historic brand’s passenger car tyre brand rights in 2025. Suitable for internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrids and electric vehicles, the tyre will be offered in 99 sizes spanning 15-21 inches, series 40-65 with H, V and W speed ratings.
Comfort and control
BLUE RESPONSE TG’s broad capabilities are made possible by a suite of new technologies that ensure stability and control on wet and dry roads, while impressive performance under braking enhances safety and driver confidence. ‘TG’, short for ‘Touring’, signals the tyre’s ability to deliver long‑distance comfort and efficiency, helping drivers go further without compromising on performance.
Reassuring wet weather performance
BLUE RESPONSE TG’s intelligent three‑zone rib design efficiently channels water away from the contact patch to ensure stability at speed and unlock wet‑weather grip during direction changes. A refined shoulder design, with lateral grooves set at optimised angles, enhances tread rigidity to reduce block deformation under load and ensures consistent force transfer in corners and under braking.
Technology to deliver refinement
A new tread compound uses longer, more resilient polymer chains to resist abrasion and slow wear to extend mileage without sacrificing performance. Rounding out the innovations, a noise‑reducing tread design links the lateral grooves into continuous channels that smooth airflow and damp vibration to deliver a noticeably quieter, more relaxing cabin environment and a composed ride expected from DUNLOP.
