Dunlop Sp3000a

[XR6_ED]

My right hand rear has done it twice and both times I noticed the cuts in the tread was after dyno runs..

Much happier now know the dyno ain't causing it

Both of my rears are the same, and both are being changed under warranty from ford, no pro rata , they are unsafe and not road worthy, thay are being changed, no probs he says, ring dunlops, yep, swap them over he says, cool, thay were all but out, 27000km, so free fresh rubber and 290 rwkw to play with, mmmmmm.

[Greenmachine]

Yep I notice the same mark on my rears when they were changed out, but seeing as they were being changed didn't worry too much but I am keeping a close eye on this set

I have had 2 buckled rims (17") and actually got warranty with the first one, but got told Fords stance was any more claims on rims would be determined as driver "mistreatment". I had a rim go back and forth to Ford Melbourne about 3 times before getting this answer!!!!!!.

Funny how the mark 2 came out with different rims.......

Has anyone with a mark 2 had problems yet???

hey guys,

Thought I'd add to this thread rather than just creating a new one..

I just got some new wheels for my car (I`ll start another thread with piccies) and I have noticed on my old tyres all the tyres are split.

Would my ford dealer replace these if I take them in? I was planning on keeping them for a spare set but looks like im gonna need new tyres. They are only split on the inside walls. Heres some pics

They'll replace those for sure. There was a recall done regarding the sidewall splits which is exactly what you have.

Wow I thought my tyres were just rooted from some burnouts at the drags... mine are split just like the pictures at the top too! I was considering getting some replacement 3000s but I think I'll pick another brand next time.

So should I take them to my Ford dealer or a dunlop distributer? Would they make me pay for used tyre wear?

Ford dealer, and nope you just get some brand spankers for free

Just checked mine.... 2 out of four with a split across the tread almost identical. Don't know how I've missed those.

Looks like I'm on the way back to not only complain about the recent "warranty upagrade flash" , but also the tyres....

[MYV8]

I had both problems on my ute. Three tyres had inside wall splits and across tread split other one just across tread. After heated discussion with dealer got four new ones including fitting and balance at 11,000kms totally free.

Some people I know were told to take it up with Dunlop/Beurepaires and they ended up paying either pro-rata or fitting and balancing.

The way I see it if they are the original tyres the issue is with Ford and if they have an issue with Dunlop that's their problem.

I have pics but do not know how to resize or post them. :cussing:
