Asked by Roadracing World to comment on the change in Western U.S. distribution of Dunlop racing tires, Dunlop Vice President-Motorcycle Mike Buckley issued this statement: “Dunlop is committed to deliver world-class products and service to road race and track-day participants. Dunlop is constantly looking for ways to accomplish this mission. As part of that process, Dunlop reviewed its past relationship with Sport Tire Services, and after carefully considering its business options, decided to move in another direction for distribution of Dunlop’s road race tires in the western U.S. Dunlop appreciates the relationship it had with Sport Tire Services, and wishes the company the best in its future endeavors.”
