Consumer Description

ON 12/18/99 WE PURCHASED 4 DUNLOP D60 A2 TIRES FROM THE TIREN FARMINGDALE/HOWELL NJ. THEY HAVE A DUNLOP # OF CR3651-2 AND CR365 1-1 AND CR2196-1. TODAY ON THE WAY TO WORK MY WIFE CALLED ME TO SAY THE TIRE WAS MAKING A THUMPING NOISE. SHE STOPPED TO LOOK AT IT AND SAW A PIECE OF TIRE MISSING. I SENT HER TO SEARS TO BUY A REPLACEMENT TIRE AND WHEN SHE GOT TO SEARS, THE WORKER SHOWED HER THE OTHER TIRE WAS SEPARATING. IN APRIL I REPLACED ONE OF THE TIRES CAUSE IT HAD A NAIL IN THE SIDE WALL AND A PIECE OF RUBBER WAS MISSING. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A ROAD HAZZARD. NOW I REALIZE THE TIRES ARE DEFECTED SINCE ALL REMAINING THREE ARE SEPARATING. I WILL NOTIFY TIRE FARM BUT I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS. THANK GOD MY WIFE WAS NOT HURT. ALL THE TIRES HAVE DOT DBV9 CA8 AND THE NUMBERS (348) (208) (208) AND (E11) 022682 THEY ALSO HAVE PO51D3-B ON THE TIRES IN FACT THE REPLACEMENT TIRE I BOUGHT AT SEARS IS THE SAME DOT # THEY ALL HAVE 01 08 40 ON THE TIRES. THE ONE FROM SEARS HAS NOT SEPARATED YET!!! WHEN WE PUT THE TIRES ON WE HAD 86,000 MILES ON THE CAR NOW IT IS 129,000. NOT THIS IS ALL HIGHWAY MILES AND THE TREAD WARE IS SMALL. DO YOU WANT ME TO SAVE THE TIRES FOR YOU? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU AND LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.*AK (DOT NUMBER: DBV9 CA8 TIRESIZE: P195/60R15)
