No change to Goodyear Eagle tyres from Dunlop Sport Maxx, it seems Goodyear don't have enough motorsport manufacturing capacity in Europe or North America, so manufacturing will stay with Sumitomo in Japan and hence the tyres will continue with Dunlop branding.

With the way Dunlop is split between Sumitomo and Goodyear, it seems neither entity is wanting to invest heavily in pushing new Dunlop product in recent years, which is really a shame for the iconic Irish tyre brand.

New Falken and new Goodyear products respectively seem to appear on the market far more frequently than new Dunlop products. A lot of Dunlop products from either company seem to be at least two generations behind the equivalent Falken or Goodyear at this point.
