RE: tires

Don't buy the Dunlops!

I put 40k+ *hard* miles on a set of D60's in 13 months. All I have to
show for it is wear bars  ;)

I had no problems at all with tire damage or failures.

>>I bought them at about 30kmi to replace my GAs. They ran OK, but they all
had catstrophic sidewall failure at about 60kmi. On all 4 tires (The
Dunlop
D60A2) the sidewalls got a 4" rip in the sidewall during regular driving
and
using factory pressure settings. They all ripped within 3 weeks of each
other.
Basically you get what you pay for, the Dunlops are cheaper than most
others.
I would heartily recommend any of the Michelins out there. I would stay
away
from these particular Dunlops. The S8000 and D40A2 might be better, but
stay
away from the D60s...

Anyone else have this happen to the Dunlops?<<
