Dunlop extends partnership as official tire supplier of MotoAmerica
MotoAmerica has announced that it will renew its partnership with Dunlop as the official tire supplier for the championship through 2029. The renewal, the April 29 press release states, is a four-year agreement that will solidify
Dunlop’ s commitment to providing highperformance tires across all categories of the MotoAmerica series.
As the 2025 season continues, Dunlop— which was recently purchased from Goodyear by Sumitomo Rubber Industries— will enter its 11th year as the exclusive tire supplier for all eight classes of the MotoAmerica Championship.
This is the fourth long-term agreement MotoAmerica has had with Dunlop, and MotoAmerica President Wayne Rainey says the collaboration allows Dunlop to innovate and enhance its product through the race series— which ultimately benefits the tire company’ s customers.
“ With advancements in grip, feel, and durability, our athletes are achieving faster lap times, which positively impacts the entire racing community,” Rainey says.“ We eagerly anticipate the upcoming seasons and the continuation of our partnership with Dunlop.”
Chad Geer, director of motorcycle product, marketing, and motorsports at Dunlop, emphasized the importance racing is to the company and how the its involvement in the MotoAmerica series has been instrumental in developing its high-performance tires.
“ Our design and service teams bring passion to MotoAmerica events, and the insights gained on the track enhance our products for customers, many of whom are avid racing enthusiasts,” Geer says.“ Since MotoAmerica took over the series in 2015, we have fostered an excellent relationship, and we are excited to extend this partnership for another four years.”
