I also used to love this advert. I was gutted when I'd catch only the end of it. I also don't remember it was for Dunlop, as the BMW 8 Series stood out for me much more than the tyres.
I worked on the digital color art design of this ad. It was shot in black and white and then colorized by the staff at CST Entertainment using their proprietary colorization software on the Silicon Graphics platform.
Tony Kaye nominated me for an international monitor award for this and I flew to Washington DC for the ceremony, but some ad from Sony won the award.
Working on this video was one of the high points of my entire career. It was challenging and fun work with Tony Kaye.
I also was trying to find this ad under "Pirelli" for years. I was so taken with this ad when it came in the 90s (and I had a black and white tv). Told all me friends about it back home now I can finally show it to them.

Love this advert with a passion. Why doesn't someone make a film in this style? It would be amazing..

@proudy666 I think any of the films by Tarsem like The Cell and The Fall remind me of this advert. They have such a strong visual style.
