So i got some Dunlop Direzza Z1 tires for the Celi 205-50 R16. had the car re-aligned within a week. Anywho they ran fine for the first 2000 miles then the car started to rumble and I shrugged it off (because of a different problem with the harmonic balancer). When I was rotating the tires I noticed really bad cupping on the inside of both front tires. I checked they cant rub on anything, struts are not great but still pass the bounce test, properly inflated tires. One thing I should say is that the cupping starts on the lip where the tread grooves are. The only thing i can think of is that the tire is too squared off at the lip and the cornering is pealing off the rubber. any other ideas?
Too late to take a picture. |

I had gotten dunlops direzza's before, not sure the type though, but I would not recommend them at all. They wore out within a year of use. I mean both the front and rears were really bad, and this was with just regular daily driving. The car was aligned properly, but I would never get them again. And the insides would wear faster than the outside on each tire too.
