Me Too, Me Too!

I now have the same problem other people have been having with the Dunlop Trail Craps. 95+% of my riding is on local and state highways with some easy dirt roads thrown in, not the Interstates. The pictures show the tire wear after only 4015 miles. The tires have been holding air just fine.

Changed mine at ~ 3600 miles, didn't want that to happen in the back country.

I always change tires as soon as I hit the wear bars. Mine went at 2000.

They may be holding air today but a little more wear will result in a catastrophic blowout. Not a fun event on the highway and few will keep the bike upright when it happens.

Opps me too, time to change the Z8's

Just changed mine at 2400 miles.

I would encourage all of you to contact honda. They are replacing those tires for the owners in other countries, IF you complain. No harm in a little *****in'

What about front? Can you make a pics of TWI? Do you have cracks on it?

I have 2500 miles on mine, and they measure 1/3 of the way to the bars. Maybe mine are defective.

I didn't notice anything unusual on the front tire, it still looks good.

Here is the front tire, 4015 miles:



Nothing unusual except for the flat spot in the center.

Those are crap tires. Get some Conti- Motions. Much better IMHO.

 

[maxwellian]

+1 on Conti motions. Holding up better than the z8's after ~4000mi for half the price.

I just bought a '13 NC700X with 813 miles on it. I've put about 200 miles on it in about 2 weeks since purchase. Should I be shopping for new tires, or is this covered under Honda's replacement/recall policy? The tires look good as of now, lots of tread left... but...

My vote is go ahead a get some tires before you need them, when they go, they go fast.
