tire replacement because of balding? only 15k mi.

have the dunlops, rotated them 3 times and only 15K on them. they seem to be balding a bit already.

anyway, is there anyway to get them replaced with a better tire like the bfg at. under a warranty???

just thought i would throw it out there...

Re: tire replacement because of balding? only 15k mi.

Under what premis do you believe it would be a warranty issue?

Re: tire replacement because of balding? only 15k mi.

Describe the balding pattern, front/rear or both, and what tire pressure are you running?

Re: tire replacement because of balding? only 15k mi.

after my first 5000 miles they had that tire mounting issue and replaced all five of my tires cause i fell into the batch with possible problems. not that i had any. unfortunately all i got was another set of the dunlops. oh well, they haven't been that disappointing off road, they just don't look all that cool or aggressive.

Re: tire replacement because of balding? only 15k mi.

I have some brand new (120 miles on them) stock tires sitting in my shed if you want them. Cheap. Cheap. Cheap. Well actually it wouldn't be, because you'd have to ship them from Alaska. I would think that yours wearing out is the perfect excuse to buy better tires.
