Dunlop Radial Sp Sport Tires Tread/belt Safety Report | Aug 04, 2010
Reported on Aug 04, 2010
| ON A RECENT SERVICE VISIT TO LEXUS ON AUGUST 4, 2010 I WAS INFORMED THAT ¿ALL 4 DUNLOP TIRES ARE SHOWING THE METAL CORDS OUT OF THEM AND ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE¿. EACH TIME I BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE I REQUEST THAT THEY CHECK TIRE, BRAKE WEAR AND TIRE PRESSURE. ON DECEMBER 9, 2009 I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD SUFFICIENT TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES AND THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. AT THAT TIME THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE WAS 19,235 MILES. I QUESTION HOW MY TIRES WENT FROM SAFE TO DRIVE TO UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN 3,198 MILES. ADDITIONALLY ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE 7/32NDS OF TREAD-WARE REMAINING IN THE CENTER OF EACH TIRE. LEXUS CLAIMS THIS INSIDE TREAD-WARE IS DUE TO SOFT TIRES. HAD I NOT BEEN CONSCIENTIOUS IN CHECKING MY TIRES I BELIEVE THESE TIRES WOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT. *TR | |
