>>28212313Why would I want a music company to many my tires?
>>28212356Make* not many
>>28212356
>>28212356Why would I want a tire company to rate restaurants?
>>28212356Why not? It's all harmonics.
>>28212372Why the fuck is the engine sideways?
>>28212356Reasons
>>28212365Because they make the best tires, so you know they at least know a thing or two about SOMETHING. I'd trust someone who makes the best tires to tell me where good food is too, until they recommend some garbage place, in which case all trust is lost. Luckily, Michelin stars are very difficult to get and keep.
>>28212383>exhaust == tires!!!
>>28212365the idea was that you would drive more often and as a result need to buy tires more often.
>>28212356the actual reason is acoustic is more important than ever for EVs because there's no engine noise to mask the tire's lazy design. And EVs replace their tires more often than ice cars in equal class.
>>28212313sounds like Japanese companies want to buy US based tire plants to avoid the tarrifs.
>>28212416Based and tire pilled.
>>28212431The nips already closed Dunlop's plant in Tonawanda.
>>28212313nooooooooo where will i get fm800s now
>>28212457oh wait this is just the motorcycle tyre division nvm
>>28212454kek, nvm then.
>>28212454Meaning?
>>28212356Sumitomo probably made the wire harness in your car.
>>28212365The French make good tyres AND good food, chud.
No one will read this, but Sumitomo already owned I don't know, 40 or 60% of the Dunlop tire business, it's fucking retarded. Basically until now:>Japanese brand cars: Sumitomo>European and American brand cars: Goodyear>Japanese aftermarket: Sumitomo>European and American aftermarket: Goodyear>Japanese and American motorcycle market: Sumitomo>European motorcycle market: GoodyearThis unites the whole thing under one company more or less, so you only need to deal with every other industry with Dunlop branding being an entirely different company. In recent years Goodyear has moved the branding of much of their racing tires from Dunlop to Goodyear, and Sumitomo shutting down its motorcycle tire plant in America was presumably made in part in preparation for this purchase.
>dunlopthey still exist?goodyear has some great tires btw
>>28213425tl;dr:eurochads won
>>28212431Dunlop is British
>>28214342I think you meant to say “bri’ish”
>>28212313Nice, I got some sumitomo winters made in buffalo in september and they're great, maybe I'll look into dunlops if they put them on a production line there.
>>28214547see>>28212454
>>28214550Ok, then I won't look into them, I don't really give a shit, I just like buying things made in a day's trip of where I live.
>>28212356pirelli used to make nude calendarsnow the world is fucking gay
>>28212313Dunlop has always made crap motorcycle tires
