Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had purchased a new Bmw with dunlop tires on. My tires are used less than 1 year and used only for 34,000 km (21,200 miles) but there are no threads left on the tires. I have contacted dunlops customer service in america and contacted their office in turkey and they have sent an expert to check the tires. They claim that the air pressure was low so the tires were worn quickly. That is ridiculous because my car is new and it was checked by authorized Bmw service for routine checks several times and I have a report from authorized Bmw service that tire pressure was normal. …”
