EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph showcasing eight distinct styles of Dunlop Motor Cycle Tyres, circa 1935. The image presents a fascinating array of pneumatic designs, each boasting unique tread patterns and sections tailored for various motorcycle applications. At the forefront, the Fort tyre, with its bold, knobby tread, was a popular choice for off-road and touring motorcycles, offering superior grip and durability. The Standard tyre, featuring a ribbed pattern, was a versatile option suitable for everyday use on both dry and wet surfaces. Next, the Heavy Duty (Beaded Edge) tyre, with its reinforced sidewalls, was designed for motorcycles carrying heavy loads or tackling rough terrain. The Standard (Ribbed) tyre, similar to the Standard but with a more aggressive ribbed pattern, was ideal for motorcycles used in delivery services or for those seeking added traction. The Solo Sports tyre, with its smooth, sleek tread, was a favourite among racers, providing excellent handling and cornering performance. The Sports tyre, with its more pronounced tread blocks, offered a balance between grip and speed for general racing applications. Two road racing tyres are also displayed: the Road Racing (Ribbed) and the Road Racing (Triple Stud). The ribbed version was designed for dry road conditions, while the triple stud variant, with its distinctive studded tread, was used on wet, slippery surfaces to provide maximum traction. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and variety of motorcycle tyre designs from the 1930s, showcasing the evolution of tyre technology and the diverse demands of motorcycle riding during that era.
