Goodyear Dunlop has won a contract which will see it provide around 200,000 tyres to police forces across the UK over the next two years.

The partnership with the National Police Improvement Agency positions Goodyear Dunlop as the exclusive tyre service provider until 2010 for the 52 police forces in Britain and Northern Ireland.

It expects to replace 100,000 tyres per year on all vehicles from patrol cars and motorcycles to public order vans.
