tires info...

[amalventano1@home.com (Allyn)]

Watch the wheels when they are balanced. They (dunlop in general) are VERY
prone to warping when overinflated during mounting/bead setting. If that
tire isnt perfectally round when its spinning on the balancer, they owe you
a new tire. Dont accept any bs excuse, it will annoy the living crap out of
you. The tires are good, dont get me wrong. Just had some previous warped
sets of dunlops in my past.
