Tyre issue.... anyone known this problem before

(1/7) > >>

Phil Mcavity:
As you know,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:

this happens to our works volvo and i could be wrong but it may be an alignment issue, i suppose it would be best to get it checked to see if its that or not.  im sure someone on here will know better.

Phil Mcavity:
You run the palm of your hand over the tread, and its so uneven its untrue, down the middle especially, like i have 7mm down the middle , but in places ,edges mainly, its wearing more excessively.

Thats my post from about 2 days ago, exactly the same question/issue as you... not good  :sick:

Lots of people (me included) have had issues with the Dunlops where there is loads of health tread left in the middle but the edges, particularly the inside edge, is worn to nothing.  I had my allignment checked after binning them with 4mm in the middle but nothing on the edges and it was spot on.  

I remember reading a post by TT (I think!) who said it was something to do with a weaker sidewall than most tyres.
