Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“1. Left front tire hit a pot hole at 50 MPH in eastbound #1 lane ramona expy, perris ca. 2.tire compression caused the rim edge to slice open the high ply turn-up and steel sidewall stabilizer. This high ply turn-up comes off the rim bead at a 45 degree angle. If the tire is compressed past a cretin point the rim has no place to go but into this 45 degree deflection and slices into the tire causing sudden air loss. 3. I called dunlop customer service and was talk down to in a condescending manor, hit a dead end there!”
