Rotating tires, system checks, and topping off the windshield fluid.
One set of tires is my only out of pocket maintenance expense.
My maintenance has been a new set of tires, new wiper blades, gallons of wiper fluid.
Wind. I see it all the time here in the Southwest. Washboard road patterns emerge like sand dune shifts in the Sahara. Couple that with constant movement from tires on vehicles, it makes it worse.
My Dunlops lasted 40k, I’d say most would be around 30-40.
The Dunlop is a decent tire. Not a front runner but about the same tier as the Hankooks. Pretty decent in the wet. Does not age well.
I have a fifth BBS CH on my GTI, I probably should change that tire with a new 225/40/18...I've used it a few times already since I bought a used dunlop tire back in 2013ish sometime when I went to all the used tire shops in the area to get that tire.
I do have the exact same size on my 2019 Ford Taurus Limited. Can't remember exactly when I put them on without looking for the tire receipt, but I don't think they're anything special. They wear fast, & to me they're loud. Actually looking for some new tires too. But I know I won't be getting these again.
I had dunlops and switched to continentals after a blow out
It’s definitely the crap tires. Same on my ‘25 Rogue. Bought with my 3 miles of test drive on 1/3/25… now at 18k hwy miles the tread wear indicators are showing. I think they will need replaced at 20k.
In contrast - 2 of them were slashed at 1k miles. I replaced those two with Goodyear MaxLife. 17k miles later, the Dunlops are almost gone, the Goodyears show little to no wear whatsoever.
Dunlop Grandtek PT21’s are TOTAL CRAP.
