| My honda insight came new with the dunlop sp 31a tire. i do not do extreme, hard cornering or race driving, this is simple a commuter vehicle. there was about 3/32 to 2/32 of an inch of tread left, on all four tires. on 7/25/12 i drove to the store and noticed the driver side front tire had a defect. the tread had separated from the tire on both the inside and outside of the tire but was still loosely connected in the middle. i took my vehicle to a tire store to replace all four tires. i felt very unsafe with the dunlop tires so i replaced all four, fearing this would happen at a high speed and the results could be fatal. (the defective tires are not available) i did some research about people that have this same size tire, on the same vehicle (honda insight). i noticed several issues of a similar nature. for example, tread separation, fast wear, cracking and bubbling. it seems to me that there could be a major issue with these tires that could jeopardize the safety of several people. *tr | |||

| TIRES - PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS | |||

| 2010 honda insight - tire pressure monitoring system will indicate a low tire when tire pressure is within normal limits. service manager at local dealership states that sensors are not accurate. they are supposed to alert with a pressure that is greater than 25% of the recommended (33psi) but will frequently alert at much less difference | |||
