Dunlop Tyres Is Back In Malaysia And With A Strong Network

Did you know that Dunlop tyres have been on sale in Malaysia since the 1960s but the brand’s local presence had faded into the background over the last few decades due to licensing structures and limited marketing. As of January 2026, Sumitomo Rubber Industries (SRI) (the new owners) officially reclaimed the exclusive Dunlop trademark rights in the region (which were previously sub-licensed to Continental tyres), handing exclusive local distribution over to Toyotsu Binter Malaysia (TBM). Here is exactly what they have to say about this new chapter, their focus on electric vehicles (EVs), and their plans to win back Malaysian drivers. This isn’t just a marketing campaign; Dunlop is overhauling its distribution, retail network and product lineup to align with the modern Malaysian automotive landscape which includes the large number of 4×4 owners in the country who have trusted the brand for decades with the Dunlop RoadTrekker RT5 and Dunlop MaxGrip AT5 tyres. 12-Month Road Hazard Warranty (Premium Models) Malaysia’s roads are notorious for unexpected potholes and debris. To address this, Toyotsu Binter offers a 12-Month Road Hazard Warranty on select premium Dunlop tyre models. What it covers: Irreparable damage caused by road hazards, such as severe punctures, sidewall cuts, or impact damage from potholes. How it works: If you encounter a road hazard, do not drive on the flat tyre (as this ruins the internal structure). Take it to an authorized dealer. If the tyre is deemed unrepairable, Toyotsu Binter will assist with a pro-rated replacement based on your remaining tyre tread. Note: Terms and conditions apply, and this is typically limited to premium and EV-ready tyre models purchased through authorized dealers.
