6. Dunlop (England)

The name “Dunlop” itself has become household in the typical Nigeria communities. In fact, the typical village people and some few ignorant city people call almost anything made of rubber “Dunlop Material” Lol.

Dunlop is actually the name for a brand of tires that are owned by some set of companies all over the world. It is originally founded by John Boyd Dunlop – the pneumatic tire pioneer in 1889 at Birmingham, England.

Dunlop is currently owned and as well operated by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and North America altogether.

Don’t even doubt the quality of Dunlop tires, they are the real deal. Although, be careful of not getting scammed for the fake versions because Dunlop is super popular in the Nigerian auto part market and a highly demanded brand as well.
