DUNLOP SP-31 TIRES Complaints

MY HONDA INSIGHT CAME NEW WITH THE DUNLOP SP 31A TIRE. I DO NOT DO EXTREME, HARD CORNERING OR RACE DRIVING, THIS IS SIMPLE A COMMUTER VEHICLE. THERE WAS ABOUT 3/32 TO 2/32 OF AN INCH OF TREAD LEFT, ON ALL FOUR TIRES. ON 7/25/12 I DROVE TO THE STORE AND NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE HAD A DEFECT. THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE ON BOTH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE BUT WAS STILL LOOSELY CONNECTED IN THE MIDDLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A TIRE STORE TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. I FELT VERY UNSAFE WITH THE DUNLOP TIRES SO I REPLACED ALL FOUR, FEARING THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT A HIGH SPEED AND THE RESULTS COULD BE FATAL. (THE DEFECTIVE TIRES ARE NOT AVAILABLE) I DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME SIZE TIRE, ON THE SAME VEHICLE (HONDA INSIGHT). I NOTICED SEVERAL ISSUES OF A SIMILAR NATURE. FOR EXAMPLE, TREAD SEPARATION, FAST WEAR, CRACKING AND BUBBLING. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE COULD BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE THE SAFETY OF SEVERAL PEOPLE. *TR
