If your Dunlops tread don't look like this, you should get them replaced.

My Ride: Jet Black 545i
Darn, I should have taken a pic of the old tread! I'm 100% sure they're different.
Ok, anyone have a picture of the 'bad' tread?

The tire situation:
bad vibration under entire car.
Rears worn out to the limits in 6800 miles, maybe form me beating on them hhahaha
had 2 bubble in sidewalls
Noise
poor ride
so I lucked out I guess, the car was brought into the shop Monday with 2 bald rear tires, one replaced front from 2 months ago, one worn front tire and one rear tire had 2 sidewall bubbles
I complained about the tires 3 times so this time they took action
