I had problems with my tires at 17000 miles. our dealer in Indianaoilis was very helpful and changed all my tires to updated Dunlop RF under warranty as tires were showing cupping of the inner edge.Our dealer provides exceptional service.So far ride is much better than earlier dunlops.This board was very helpful as i was able to show them the rt buletin. Thanks

Do it soon, my brother in CA, got his replaced at around 15,000 due to the noise and this is only because I told him about this after hearing this from this great forum. The BMW notice does states a limit in terms of miles when they will replace, but after you get past those miles they will no longer replace these tires.

Oh ya I know... my miles are very low still and the tires look fine... so theres no way I can say theres a problem with them... YET... I'm waiting for noise and un even wear so I can get some free tires LOL I'm so bad...

Is this really true? Have Dunlop 'updated' the tyres? I have heard conflicting evidence...

My Dunlops were ok for a little while...

Hey, I just got mine done under warranty at 19400. I had no hassle and had to say nothing about the report.


Side note, what part of Indy are you from?
