Tire recall
Continental is recalls 500,000 tires including General Grabber AW, which come on F150's. I have them on my truck and probably some of you do. 1-800-TIREFIX is the number to call for recall information.

Unhappy Tire recall
They must have taken that phone off of the hook. Have tried several times and get busy signals. Do you know the DOT numbers of the tires that are in question????

How come this only seems to affect the 17" Tires. I have P255 70 16's Grabber AW's that came with my 2WD Supercrew?

Continentaltire.com has good information on it. Looks like the only tires that are being recalled are made before Oct 2000.
