Just put this tire on and love it but after one session I noticed that the tire looked to be separating (see pic). Then I get to the spot yesterday and found that I was not the only one experiencing this issue. Including myself four others where experiencing the same issue. Not sure if its a faulty batch or if this is just a common issue that clears up once the tire is broken in.

Since this is the first rear tire I have bought in over ten years I am not to happy to see it falling apart.

I have a VM and E-Mail out to Dunlop, just waiting to hear back not!

Looks like it was strapped to something sharp or a faulty tire. If it wasn't strapped down to a sharp edge or had anything sharp on it I would say that is a bad tire because or should certainly not do that.

Four tires all the same issue! I'm leaning with faulty tire.

Is it in just one area of each tire or a couple spots?

FYI, I'm working with a Dunlop rep now on this. I will keep you all posted on how this works out.

Keep in mind this is a good stunt tire and I would't waste my time if It was't.
