ArmyofOne Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 Thats the case with all Dunlop tires. Good smooth quiet tires with good traction but TERRIBLE treadwear. ← Agreed! B) ← ill agree, i cant so much as even try to break the rear end loose, it just aint happening!! even when bald they hold strong! i found something disturbing today...check this out guys: that would be the source of my pull, and of my slight wobble at low speeds...i wondered....

Lexusfreak Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Keep us posted on your tire wear problem as well as your tranny concerns Army. Don't do anything just yet with tires until you find out about the other stuff & the costs. Just my suggestion. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) ← checkthe tranny thread for update. as for the tires, i will go to discount tire tomorrow and see if they have the falkens in stock. i will then reserve a set and have them put on next week. if they dont have a set in stock that they can reserve, i will order them online, but i would rather get them from the store, i have a coupon for $25 off any set of tires or wheels, and now is the itme to use it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyofOne Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 ok, i have made my desicion. due to the ride of the car and the price of the tire, i am going to get these...same tire, but OEM size: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/f...id=006158&ar=60 48 each after tax mounting and balancing that comes to $281.45...MUCH better. and they havea 60,000 mile garuntee. size is 190-60-R15 they are HR rated...more than i need. i figured out what caused my tire bubble... i exceeded the speed rating numerous times...those yokos were only rated at 110!!

SW03ES Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 That may or may not have caused the problem, that looks to me like the belts have shifted, I bet that was from the bad rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Who knows why, could have been road forces in a different area finally popped the belt into that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
