Dunlop issue......

[Saint Steve]

Ive always run Dunlops on this Edition 30 since ive had it, its always been a tad noisey with tyre roar on the road, but when the alloys were resprayed the tyres have got even more noisey due to i think them putting the tyres back on the rims the wrong way round, (Rotational being correct) which have made them even more irritatingly load.
Apon closer inspection, not sure if this is a common problem with Dunlops, but the tread looks like its deforming!!, have a look at these pics to see what you think, but i can see why my car sounds like its running on gravel 24/7!! even on a smooth road, you can hear these!

Anyone else had this or known these deform or appear to have??

I know Dunlops arent the best , but i am astonished these are like this :mad:

Much has been highlighted about the dunlops previously, but I would probably take them back to where you got them from if you can because that doesnt look right.

Putting that much power through the tyres, I would seriously consider getting something decent on your wheels. the difference is night and day when I made the change. PS2's or F1's ftw

[Saint Steve]

Agree with the power side of it, ive re-mapped mine a few days back and now getting wheel hop and wheel spin in 4th gear!! :embarassed:. Need 4 new tyres by the look of it

Its often hard to convince yourself to get rid of tyres with good(?) tread still left on them... but I would put them aside for track or pod runs and get a good set for road use. Can never be too careful with the wet season soon to be upon us.

I'm running those on the rear of mine. They're not great, I currently have Michelin PS2s on the front, and when they were out I will probably replace all 4 with some more PS2's. Not cheap but worth it.

There should be a little arrow on the sidewall somewhere telling you the rotation. I've had the rotation the wrong way round on my mums mazda, nearly spun off a roundabout.

Also realised i only had 32 psi all round on the tyres :embarassed:. Have pumped them up to 41psi, and she seems alot happier/quieter and lighter on the wheel since.  

I wont be having dunlops again when these run out.

they are on the correct rotation but the rims have been fitted in reverse which means what was the outer remaining tread , is now on the outside edge, which also means noisey sounding and uneven worn tyres

Phil, was it all four which went like that?    If it was just the fronts, I'd advise on pumping the fronts even higher than the 41 psi you increased them too.  When I had Dunlops on mine, I found that 46 psi up front kept the deformation at bay, and didn't affect the way they wore either.

Anyway, you have just witnessed the 'static deformation' which I previously mentioned. 

And I'm sure you know it makes sence not to use them again when they wear out!

Thankyou shaun, glad youve Replied . It  was the rear tyres which have showed most deformation.
Would pressure would you say is best in the tyres? ive set them to 41psi allround currently. Tire roar is lesser aswell now ive noticed.
