Hey guys/gals,

I have a 2012 GTR that I just took in for the first service. Long story short, I had a nail in my tire and I tried to patch it myself. I wasn't really comfortable with the angle the nail went in. I decided since I was bringing in the car for service, I'll just get a new tire.

Well... the dealer is telling me the factory original tires I have are discontinued and Dunlop has a newer (almost the same) tire. I don't know if that is true. I don't think having one rear tire different than the others would affect safety or performance...... but it still bothers me.

What would you do?

Since your car is a 2012, you have the latest Dunlop version. I believe the dealer is mistaken.

Look to see if your current tires are Dunlop SP 600 Maxx GT's. If they are, you have the latest tire which I believe all 2012's have.

I think the dealer is Mistaken, from what I can tell all the tires should match, there is only one model of the 600maxx GT that I can find . I think the parts guy that called me may have thought it was a previous year GTR. Thanks for the info.

2009-2011 had the Dunlop SP Sport

2012 has the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx.

The dealer just made a mistake, no big deal.
