SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – April 15, 2026 – Representing an important step in tyre development, DUNLOP announces the launch of the DUNLOP Blue Response TG tyre in Australia. This is the first tyre introduced to the region since Sumitomo Rubber Industries took control of the DUNLOP brand. It signals a renewed vision to establish new standards in performance, safety, and ride quality for Australian Drivers, blending heritage with innovation.
Built for those who seek more than motion, the DUNLOP Blue Response TG responds to changing road and weather conditions. It provides strong grip and handling for consistent traction, giving drivers confidence whether steering through tight turns or travelling on highways. Its performance is matched by refined comfort, assuring a smooth, peaceful ride.
“The BLUE RESPONSE TG represents the future of driving, combining durability, efficiency, and EV-ready technology. We are proud to offer Australian drivers a tyre that not only meets today’s demands but is ready for tomorrow’s mobility challenges. ” Koji Fukuhara, Managing Director – DUNLOP TYRE AUSTRALIA
The tyre features a raft of technologies, including an intelligent three-zone rib design with variable stiffness, which provides stability during cruising and maximum power while cornering. This is complemented by an optimised shoulder design that provides dynamic response through the angled and shaped lateral grooves, increasing rigidity during braking and cornering.
A new tread compound formula forms the foundation of its long-lasting performance. It features a latest-generation polymer combined with advanced chemical technology. This ensures solid road contact and minimal wear over time. An innovative noise-reducing groove design offsets lateral grooves, substantially reducing noise and helping drivers focus on the joy of the journey.
Welcoming the future of mobility, the DUNLOP Blue Response TG is equipped with EV-ready innovation and is built to meet the demands of electric vehicles. This tyre delivers efficiency plus durability for tomorrow’s drivers and fits a wide range of popular models, including the Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, and Hyundai i30. Drivers can experience a new standard of automotive quality.
