DUNLOP ROADSMART MOTORCYCLE TIRE SIZE 120/90ZR-18. TIRE WAS INSTALLED NOV, 2009. TIRE HAD BEEN ON MOTORCYCLE FOR 8200 MILES AT TIME OF FAILURE. I WAS ON INTERSTATE 77 IN NORTH CAROLINA WHEN FRONT TIRE FELT OUT OF BALANCE. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND A TENNIS BALL SIZE BUMP IN THE CENTER OF THE TIRE. RIDING SLOWLY, I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO A MOTORCYCLE DEALER ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY. AFTER REMOVING THE TIRE, THEY SHOWED ME IT HAD A BLISTER ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE ABOUT 12 INCHES LONG I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE MADE IT MORE THAT A FEW MILES FARTHER ON THE TIRE. I WAS ABOUT 350 MILES FROM HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE TIRE WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER IN WILKSBORO, NC. *TR

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.
