Dunlop SP9000

Hi guys, I am having a problem with one of my tires as it has cracked on the side wall after 4500 miles , Now I have to replace it. What would you recomend. I live in a hot country, no winter, mostly dry conditions. Should I get the same or is there a equivalent tire. I do run hard in corners, not a lot of speeding...I race gokart that's why

Are those the DSST's? then you should probably get the one DSST's..they
are expensive to replace.

But if you're up for it, I think there are many tires much less expensive
that can whoooop that tire in terms of grip and comfort.

Don't these things have warranties? Sounds like a defective tire! Seems to me you should be able to get it replaced for free. (Or minus a tiny amount for pro-rated mileage.)

No waranty on it, they said it is a consumer products so no way to claim anything. Well, as I live in Tahiti, the choice is simple, had to get the same as none other brands have them in stock and I really didn't want to take any risks. Only bad thing is that it cost me $570
