Dunlop
New Regal tyre burst due to defective tyre

Fitted brand new Regal tyres (front) at Kwik Fit, 5 days later one tyre burst on highway. Tyre gets collected by Dunlop technical for testing - report back that I drove with a totally deflated tyre and the damage is due to driving with this flat tyre and therefore the holes and burst marks are due to tyre rim damage. This is totally incorrect as I was driving on the highway at 120km/ph and surely any fool what feel that the tyre is flat and that you won't be able to drive like that - the tyre will come off within seconds. The honest truth is that everything was fine and suddenly the tyre just "popped". They now refuse to replace the tyre. The worst is that there are tyres from the same batch fitted to cars right now, with the potential of killing the driver, passengers and other parties when this defective tyre burst - However. Dunlop treats me as an user of their goods which are safety critical as a and a cheat. Furthermore I am out of pocket and can not immediately buy a new tyre. I will make it my mission to spread the word on defective Dunlop Regal tyres to warn consumers against Dunlop's attitude when the product fails.
