The New York factory where Dunlop racing tires, streetbike tires, and other types of tires have been made for the U.S. market is closing.

Buffalo just can't get a break. I'm actually surprised that factory lasted so long. I guess Dunlop prices will be going up?

Were the Q5 tires made here? I wonder if the real/perceived quality issues with those had any bearing on this closure.

Didn't Dunlop switch to Ace?

No, CSBK switched to Bridgestone (and Ace for trackside support). Pro 6 is still a Dunlop race tire dealer.
