My tires.

I suppose this happened on a bad parking job by me, but it seems that my front right tire is a bit ripped... around the band that says dunlop on it.
It's not too big, but do you think I should see someone or do something about it?

Well ... if your still under warranty.. I would just take it back to your dealer and see what they say... it could be a quick fix. When it comes to tires you can't be too carefull. You don't want to get stranded!

Sorry MP5DuCe, your tires are NOT under warrantee by the dealer...and ripping a sidewall won't be covered either....only DEFECTS.

AND YES Kad,....you better have it looked at....you would hate for it to let go at 70 or 80 mph and throw you into someone else beside you or off the road.

I'm with Richard on this one. Also, check the Dunlop tire warranty card that came with your car and see what it says. You may be able to get some warranty coverage from a Dunlop dealer to help cover some of the cost.
