My Elite III have about 6,000 miles on them and they seem to have a slight ridge on them. This ridge runs around the tire and is slightly off center. Almost like seeing a belt under the rubber.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

ridge

The ridge on the front is normal, I am on my third set of E3's and am very satisfied with them. This set will deliver 19k. The ridge is a harder rubber compund designed to help the tire last longer. Just my experience, not a Dunlop expert.
