DUNLOP SP20 TIRES Complaints

REAR TIRE BLEW OUT ON HIGHWAY. FOUND A LUMP STARTING IN SECOND REAR TIRE. PREVIOUSLY I HAD REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES ON 3/24/04 DUE TO LUMPS OR BUBBLES FORMING. ONE OF THESE TIRES STARTED WEARING IN AN ODD WAY AND CAUSED VERY PRONOUNCED VIBRATION. THESE WERE THE OEM TIRES AND AT THAT TIME HAD 37,486 MILES. SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE I HAD NOTICED VIBRATION AND SKIRMYNESS WHILE DRIVING. I VISUALLY INSPECTED THE TIRES AND NOTICED THEY SEEMED OUT OF ROUND AND ODD SHAPED. I PLANNED TO REPLACE THEMM IN A FEW DAYS. I DID NOT THINK AT THE TIME A FAILURE WAS IMMINENT. I WAS WRONG AS THE FAILURE OCCURED TWO DAYS BEFORE I PLANNED TO REPLACE THEM.*AK

HAVE HAD A VIBRATION AND PULLING IN STEERING WHEEL SINCE PURCHACE OF 2004 HONDA CIVIC VP. TOOK INTO DEALER AT 2000 MILES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND VIBRATION. AT 3100 MILES TOOK TO DIFFERENT DEALER THEY FOUND VIBRATION AND PULLING. DID FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE TIRES. STATED IF CONTINUES, THEN POSSIBLE TIRE DEFECT. AT 4000 MILES AGAIN TOOK TO ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, THEY DID FRONT END ALIGNMENT AGAIN, BUT STATED IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A TIRE AND SINCE THEY ARE NOT A DUNLOP RETAILER COULD NOT REPLACE. WENT TO SEARS AND THEY STATE SINCE TIRE WAS NOT SOLD BY THEM AND ARE ORIGINAL TIRES ON CAR AT TIME OF SALE, THEY COULD ONLY DO A COMPARABLE TREAD TIRE. THE TIRE IS A DUNLOP SP20FE.
