HAVE A 2008 DUNLOP ROADSMART FRONT TIRE 120/70R18 ON THE FRONT WHEEL WITH ABOUT 5K MI. USE. RECENTLY THE FEEDBACK FROM THE RIDE WAS A VIBRATION THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A WHEEL HOP THAT INCREASED WITH SPEED RESULTING IN LESS CONTACT OF TIRE TO ROAD. THE TIRE HAS A SLIGHT BULGE LIKE BUMPS AND I HAVE STOPPED RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE UNTIL THE TIRE IS CHANGED. PURCHASED ON LINE AND INSTALLED BY MYSELF AS I HAVE FOR DECADES ON MULTIPLE BIKES. *KB

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
