| I just put on a new set of Dunlop WWW on my 1500LC. I noticed a small bubble on the rear white wall. It's about the size of a small pea in diameter and only has a slight raise on the tire surface. I don't want this baby to blow out at 70 MPH. Is this a possible blip on the white wall material? It's hard to find unless you run your hand over it but is noticeable. Thanks for any info. Gary |

| Seat Tester | I would side with using caution. Take it back. There is no way to tell whats going on underneath that whitewall. Ever been on a bike that had a blow out? I have. Because of that, I will do everything in my power to try and prevent it from ever happening again. I didn't lay it down, but good god man, good luck stopping the bike :/

| If your back tire blows it will lurch all over, but since you still have stearing put both feet down and use front break to stop. If front tire blows put both feet down, grab bars and try to lift a little. It will fight you the whole way, and you will hurt a bit from strain, but it is better than flipping. These points I learned the hard way, and at 65mph. You can stop it with your feet but it is rough. Good luck with tire.
