one day old dunlop D01 burst shocked.gif duno izi due to defect or watsoever reason but a bad experience..was very pleased with dunlop 9000 which was on my old car previously though...

 

luckily it burst when the car was almost stationary in carpark..can't imagine if I was driving at highway or high speed..I think I would be in another suay car accident or montuary now sweatdrop.gif

 

really appreciate and thankful to Maddriver,Chonghui & Linus who came to the rescue, helped in changing the bursted tire to Linus's spare tyre...

 

Due to most tyre workshops are closed on weekend evening, we drove to Balestier wkshop , was quoted Nanking normal tyre $100 /pc hur.gif and other normal around $140+hur.gifhur.gif think wanna chop me in such situation..

 

we then proceed to Jln Besar City Tyres Trading...Good & honest service and was quoted reasonably for Japanese tyres which are much cheaper than the former.The in charge, Bobby is very helpful and even took the initiative to pump air for Linus's spare tyre.Very pleased with his service and definitely know which workshop to go next time.They are open till 3am daily.thumbsup.gifthumbsup.gifthumbsup.gif

Bro, can i make a suggestion?

 

 

 

I guess your tyre was damaged during the process of fitting it onto the rim. Your tyre is still new from factory. your pic suggest that the tyre failed not becaused of quality issues. Most likely caused by external factors. Just my 2 cents. [:)]

I changed into a set of the D01 1 year back in Malaysia for RM500 - including balancing/alignment etc.

 

I think the manufacture date is about the same as yours.

 

Served me pretty well so far. Pretty good grip in the dry and wet, definately much better than the Aspec DB in the wet.

 

Pretty scary looking at the damaged tyre. Could it have been an overinflated tyre coupled with air expansion in the sun, resulting in the burst tyre?

 

Though the tyre is manufactured in Malaysia, it should have been done using Dunlop's process and subjected to QC checks. Wonder what really happened.
