| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Developed a crack in the tire approximately 1 to 11/2 inches in length inside the thread groove running with the thread. you can tell it is not a pucture due to the way it is cracked. it has randum edges. will be removing the tire to return it to dealer were it was for purchase for a pro rated refund. have purchased the same tire from another deal. have never done anything like this before, but am very concerned with the lack of ownership by dunlop to other motorcyclist with the same problem. this is a very scarry problem when you are on only 2 wheels. if you will check the goldwing road ride associations (gwrra) bullitin board you will find number of postings that people are having with the dunlop tires. these being with the 1500 and 1200 goldwing and valkyrie model rear tires all devolpe very simulair slits. too many people have experience the problem to be a none event. dunlop keeps telling people that they have no problem. goldwing rides are a very conservitive group and not wild riders. lossing a tire on a motorcycle is a lot more deathdefining then other vehicle that why i believe this problem needs some type of closure. thanks for your help. will be more than happy to provide further help or information. ps will be taking pictures of the tire for future reference if needed.( dot number: tire size: mv85hb15 ) |
