ok so i got dunlop sp sport a2 tires on not too long ago and i've noticed that when i drive above 60 or 70 mph, my tires smell like they do in a burnout. also, when i drive hard in the rain for a while and stop somewhere, ive noticed they steam a lot sometimes.
does this happen to other people, or even other people with these tires. it seems to me they are getting too hot?

 

underinflation will cause them to get overly hot and wear wrong... also bad alignment can do it, as there is more friction being put on the tire.

 

thanks, but i just went out and measured them at a cold 32 psi all the way around, and i had an alignment around 4 months ago. anyone else?

 

look through your tires to see if they are rubbing against somewhere inner fender area.

well there's no rubbing and they clear everything with plenty of room when the car is not moving, so i dont see rubbing being a problem...

 

is it all 4 tires that have the same symptoms or just one or two of them?

 

well its just the front two that steam when when they're wet, but i i don't know whether or not the rear get hot as well
