I get that too on really slow turns, ie turning outta the driveway..I got a split in the face of one of my dunlops after reading on here it was a tyre fault, an ford said I musta drove over something and gave me nothin. I drove on it anyway and never had a problem with it.. they were so loud anyway hahahaThey said it was play in the steering rack or something, but didn't really elaborate. He reckoned it was a pretty common thing.I never actually saw any cracks in the rubber, and I've had a wheel off in the last month (Had to get a nail puncture repaired).

Ghia Member 191 Member For: 22y 5m Gender: Male Location: Aus.Vic.Melb Posted 09/05/07 08:16 AM Share Posted 09/05/07 08:16 AM I'm suprised Dunlop hasn't fixed this problem yet, I first noticed it back in 03 on the SP3000, and have now seen it happen on SP9000 and Sport Maxx.Just goes to show how sh*t the manufacturer is...that's great news that you got them replaced.... On the SP3000's isn't that why they switched to using SP3000A's - because of all the dramas they were having? Or are they just the same thing?

Showing kids pictures of a man in a wonder woman suit which is kept in your wallet!!!! I'm dialing 1800 55 1800 & reporting this one...LOLGreat to hear of the excellent service. You should replace the 4th tyre as it'd be just about shagged as well!

Any recommendations on brand/series of tyre for this? I don't wanna spend mega bucks, but I want some half decent traction for the strip.

teeg Member 372 Member For: 19y 9m 27d Location: SA Posted 09/05/07 10:57 PM Share Posted 09/05/07 10:57 PM I scored 4 new ones 2 months back. I only noticed a crack in one of them and I asked him if were there cracks in all four and he just said that I owed him a beer. The tyres had done 20000k. I did wonder if they had a second hand XR in the lot with some bald tyres and this was a way of getting some half decent tread on it.
