Consumer Description

WE WERE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, HIT A SMALL POTHOLE AND IMMEDIATELY OUR LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING WENT OFF. MY HUSBAND WHO WAS DRIVING THE CAR, PULLED TO SAFE LOCATION, GOT OUT TO INSPECT THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE TO FIND THAT THE GOODYEAR TIRE HAD ACTUALLY BLOWN OUT. WE HAD A 4 INCH TEAR IN THE TIRE JUST ABOVE THE RIM. THIS IS THE THIRD DUNLOP TIRE THAT WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE WITH THE SAME ISSUES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. THE FIRST TIRE WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH BUBBLED, THE 2ND ALSO BUBBLED BUT WITH ONLY 100 MILES ON IT, AND THEN THE LAST WHICH ACTUALLY BLEW OUT COMPLETELY. WE HAVE HAD MADE NUMEROUS CALLS TO DUNLOP AND BMW EXPRESSING OUR SAFETY CONCERN WITH THESE TIRES. *TR
