| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My rear tire ply is"delaminating" which has caused an uneveness in the shape of the tire, causing it to exhibit an irregular surface that effects handling (particularly while cornering). i was advised by a local dealer (milpitas honda) that this problem is commonly caused by driving with low tire pressure. i have kept my pressure at 41 psi (the recommended pressure). i have heard from others that this is a very common problem with these tires and that dunlop has refused to warranty the tire.. even when it has happened to owners with as few as 1800 miles. i have a good deal of tread left on the tire, but i am concerned that this tire is defective and should be recalled or covered by the manufacturers warranty (100%, including the part and replacement labor). honda says to contact dunlop for a new tire and dunlop says it is honda's problem. meanwhile, the customers are getting screwed by being forced to get a replacement tire prematurely at their own expense.. then the replacement dunlop tire fails too! i know of people that have had two (2) rear tire delamination failures within a year. please look into this. *ak( dot number: tire size: 180/70r16 ) |
