I'm just turned 6,000 miles on my 17" Dunlops and I have developed 3 golfball lumps in the sidewall of my front drivers side tire and one smaller lump on the rear drivers tire. I don't drive any more aggesive with my MINI than the nexy guy and my suspension is stock.

Has anyone else had this problem and will MINI cover this under the warranty?

 

17 inch dunlop sp9000..nope no probs

and you should contact ur dealer about warranty issues

good luck and keep us posted :smile:

 

Most bubbles in the sidewall are due to impact, and are road hazzard type occurances. Have them evaluated loacaly to confim.

I went to Goodyear and they said they "thought" they could be impact, but could not tell until they got the tire off. I know they really mean "Sir, we can't put this tire back on in its current condition, but what we can do is replace it for only $350.00"

Alex - do you guys have a direct replacement tire and can I have one non-runflat and 3 run-flats on the same car??? How son should I have this replaced?

 

does anybody know what the model number for the 17 inch performance goodyear run flat tire that MINI uses?

 

anybody?

 

Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 in 16's
Goodyear Eagle RS-a EMT in 17's

Please do not mix runflats, and non run flats. It will give very diffrent handeling and steering responces. Replace if damaged ASAP.
