Dunlop responds to my inquiry…

For those of us who saw the recent wisely video. On Dunlop releasing a i3S specific rear tire. But deciding NOT to bring it to the USA. I sent a message to Dunlop asking for them to bring it stateside. And this is the reply I received today.

We really appreciate your interest in Dunlop and even looking into the products we offer in other markets. Although we do have the sizes you’re looking for in the All Season 2 line for Europe, the commercial complexities of bringing over a product designed to meeting European regulation, standards and driving conditions to N. America is actually much more difficult than it may seem from the outside. In addition, there’s only about 1,500 vehicles in N. America that use this front/rear size combination (your BMW i3S). Unfortunately for these reasons, it just wouldn’t make sense for us to bring these tires over here. Again, we truly appreciate you reaching to make us aware of your needs and this potential opportunity.

Kind regards,

So, it looks like this is not going to happen. You can get them from a retailer in Germany. And import them yourself. But this will make them most likely cost more than Bridgestones. So that might not make much sense. I was really hoping this would work out.
