    Default Arrrgh: Don't Buy Dunlop Sp Sport 2's!!!....

    just had a partial belt separation after running over something...there was still acceptable tread on the tire when it did this. perhaps its the florida sun, but...a set of name brand tires SHOULD be expected to go for more than 20K miles before replacement.
    "..Torchinski v. Peterson that it is legal to carry a concealed weapon, so long the weapon is totally slick like a huge ass machine gun that you carry under a trench coat, like in the Matrix."

    Sorry to hear that. I had them on the old 525, I hated them. They didn't last long nor did they perform that well.

    I've got 9k on them on my E30...no problems. And I do my best not to run over things in the road

    sorry, i meant to type a2, i had previously asked you about how you liked them on your e30. i didn't intentionally "run" over something, i went through a intersection with poorly removed accident debris. you don't notice any worse than normal tread wear on that car?

    i think they are just a update of the old d60 a2 jlb dunplop, i liked the wet traction and cheep price but that jointless nylon band crap blew chunks, real sensitive to air pressure and once they cupped a little they were loud as ****
