My 1990 model also has the original Dunlop SP SPORT D89's (P185/60R14 82H) on
it.  One of them developed a bulge in the sidewall about 1/8" high and 1 1/2"
in diameter at 30,000 - 40,000 miles.  Since the tires are due for
replacement, I didn't bother with the dealer.  I think it's a different tire
that developed a sloooow leak (drops from 26 psi to 10 - 15 psi every 1 - 3
days); I sure hope it's the tire and not the allow wheel that's leaking!
