The stock Dunlops I had (notice, had, cuz its not on my 8 anymore, it went to my bro's SE-R) Had some Bubbles on the sidewall (expanded, bubble like shape)

I know tires are failing and needs to replace it but.

Does stock tires dies that easily ? I mean its not even a year

I gave them to my brother because he doesnt drive his Altima during Winter. I do so I have to change to something that works (Proxes 4), and I gave him the Dunlops.

 

Bubbles in the sidewall are dangerous. These should be replace by Dunlop under warrenty. There may be some sort of prorating due to tire ware.
I haven't read of any previous reports of this problem.

 

I had that once, and the tire guy said it is, in fact, dangerous and should be replaced right away. Usually it's not the result of a factory defect, but a road hazard—like hitting a pothole.

 

You won't get any prorate from the warranty because it is a sidewall bubble which the manufacturer will say is from road hazard.

 

true, sadly enough...

 

If it bubbles out- road hazzard.
If it looks like a dimple- defect

 

So get it replaced right away. Think of it as your own little Mt. Merapi—it may not erupt today, it may not erupt tomorrow, but it will erupt.

 

Well Im going to get it replace today (actually, going to do that right now, on my way to get some toyos)

but Im just wondering is it possible to get a warranty out of this. Guess not (sigh .... didnt even hit anything)

Thanks !

 

you're in new york, you had to have hit something

if i recall, you've complained more than once about the crappy NY roads

 

not only once. but I-dont-even-remember-how-many-times.

but the fuxk up thing is.

Got a flat tire, again , thanks to New York City's Great fuxking roads.

Story is, Yesterday morning, went out at 8:30 to the shop just to get it done ... ok got 4 Toyo Proxes 4. Left the shop happily around 10 oclock. drove around whole day and while passing thru Metropolitan Ave .... a Small *** pole hole and ....

The small tiny Pole hole punch a hole thru the New Proxes 4(Front right)'s sidewall.

Went back to the shop (with Spare tire), they was like "wtf? You just changed it this morning"

Gotta take another 210 bucks to get it done ....

man .... This time Im going to file a claim to the City. I cant stand these fuxking pOs roads in New York anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

but you just said in your previous post that "(sigh... [I] didnt even hit anything", so..... whatever. sorry about the luck, that sucks. good luck dealin with the city.

 

Well, didnt even hit anything "big" I should say.

Sorry about the confusion

sigh .... all I know is that ... I just lost 200 bucks (for now at least, not even sure if I can get money back from the city)
