Default Faulty Dunlops

Had the 15,000km service done today on my BA, when my wife went to pick up the car the service guy told her that all 4 tyres needed replacing. She thought that they were trying to scam her but they said that there was cracks in the sidewalls of the tyres, I didn't notice any yesterday when i was washing the car!!, anyway, they replaced all of the tyres under warranty because Dunlop apparently had a faulty batch. Wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them? Might be worth having a good look at your tyres and going back to Ford if you find any. My tyres are 17" and not sure if the 18" are affected.

This was a well known fault with the 17" Dunlop 3000a's. The new ones dont suffer from it anymore but some of the older ones bought by Ford are still around, looks like you got a set.
Anyhow, you have nice new ones now so its all good.
