| Description of the problem | Tires are new 3500 miles. Normal driving at 40 mph loud noise coming from tire and blew out. The steel belt was faulty. Two days later loud noise coming from another new tire tire out of round due to steel belt failure. No road hazard so tire dealer said even though they are new it will be another 880. 00. The tires clearly are faulty and will cause an accident. Dunlop 255/50r19 all 4 bought and installed 2 failed 2 days apart. Very dangerous blowout no injuries. These tires are not right and should be covered under a recall. I have been in car business for 45 years and know what this is. No results and need closure quickly !! |
