    Look what happens when you cheap out on tires!

    So I was driving down the SZR Autobhan yesterday heading to the office in Media City State when i heard a loud explosion and the body started shacking. at first i thought i was struck by something but then quickly pulled over to check on the tires.






    the dunlop tires are supposed to be somehow newly installed by the previous owner...

    out of all the tires that i managed to blow up in the past 3 years i never came across such a bad quality rupture.

    somesay i can get it fixed/sowed back to original state back in sharjah :rofl:

      Thank God nothing really happened to you though, going faster might have ended in a completely different problem... Allah satar!

                        Wow!!... Thank God you are fine... I had issues with Dunlops too when I had them on the 330i (came with those tyres from the dealer)... But I didn't have that bad of a blowout... That is definitely a manufacturing defect (unless the tyres are old manufacturing year and not stored properly), I would take it to Dunlop and have them look at the tyre.

                          i'm currently using a bridgestone tire that was one of those that were sitting around in the garage. OMG one of the noisiest tires that i've tried. imagine just one tire and th noise doubled in the cabin :rofl:

                          i don't want to bother myself with any other brand. i want pirelli!
