Is there such a thing?
Bought them through kwik fit in september.
2 x 225/40/18 Dunlop sp whatevers
£260 the pair.
Noticed over the past fow days the car was pulling a tad,checked the tyre tonight and theres a nice bubble appearing on the sidewall.
Tyres done around 2200 miles.
Think i could claim it under warrenty???
Cant recall hitting and major potholes or that

No such thing
Most likely a pothole or something
But I'd go create if I was you,
They can send it back to dunlop, but you'll have to pay for a replacement in the meantime, you'll get it refunded though if you old one was found to be faulty

If it was one of my customers I'd try and say it was their fault (Just being honest)
But in reality, they will make a claim for it, so it is worth a shot

All tyre companies have that, look how it's worded, they will blame it on a pothile
And tyres are only recommended for 4 years,

When I had Cooper-Avon's on my old 1.2 8v, I had a tyre warranty with them, covering accidental damage too - so if they were to become punctured with more than 6mm of tread left, I would have it replaced with a brand new tyre.
If it only had 4mm left, I'd have a new tyre but pay 25% of the costs (or some numbers like that anyway, can't remember exact figures) Right down to 2mm, where I'd pay 80% of the tyre price for a new one if the old tyre was damaged.

Quite a few companies do this from time to time,
The last was Fulda iirc,

iv worked for kwik fit for some time now, iv had people coming in grumbling and moaning becasue a bulge in the tyre has ocoured and then they say they want there money back, theres no way you could get your money back the only way possible is complain to the council that you have hit a pothole in the road and see hwat they can do about it, iv known people to win the claim and and get a new tyre out of them but it is a long procedure.
