How did they go about it? Did they call, email, take it to the stealer and have them deal with Dunlop, take pics and send em in, someone from Dunlop came and looked at em or did they just send new tires in the mail? I am all ears, lol. Yeah, the critters all around here suck! That's why I invested in a tlph7 set, lol. Thanks Orangevette, your da man!
EDIT: here are some pics I snapped so everyone can see. Upon closer inspection, there is cracking across the whole front tire, now I am afraid to ride it, lol. Yall can see how good the tread is still, lets hope Dunlop comes thru. 447, 448, 449 is the front tire. 450 and 451 is the back tire. Yall can see how much tread is left. I just so happened today to park it in the right place and noticed this. Lord knows what I will find on the rest of the tires. Thanks everybody.

OK, I cant get the rear tire pics to insert, so lemme try again, lol.
Ok, they loaded. If you look close you can see the dry rot is starting on the back tire and there is still PLENTY of tread left. I sure hope Dunlop makes this right. Just wanted all of yall to see what I am dealing with and the "nail in the tire" is still looking good, lmao....

For the record, nobody said you were a thief or a liar. I merely implied that it is dishonest to "drive thru a construction site and pick up a nail". Your words, not mine. If the tires are covered, good for you. I still maintain, from experience, that around 10k is the useful life. I have used esp, but the tire was 1 year old, less than 1000 miles. Ride safe

We've got a great dealership here and all they did was ride in, the service manager looked at the tires and scheduled a time for the change.
Hope Dunlop can hook you up. Ride safe.
OK, here is the update. I called Dunlop and got in touch with Mr Johnson. I sent pictures of the tires to him. He verified my problem and the front tire is covered under the 4yr ozone cracking problem. Said I could print out the email traffic for warranty coverage to show the dealer. Now I just have to make an appointment to get it replaced. thanks everyone for their help.
