Michelin tire recall

http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/19...uniroyal-tires

I've never been a fan of their products. And that's not just because I work for Goodyear. Never had any of their products on any of my vehicles prior to working for Goodyear, and even after my time at Goodyear is done, if that day comes, I won't put them on my vehicles then either.

I love the terminology they use for a tire blowout. "Rapid air loss." Cracks me up.

Ok so a few questions out of the 841000 tires how do you identify if its your tire? I mean the new article is worthless as far as information is concerned.

Go to the BFGoodrich site. In the press room, the list the tires recalled. Probably the same at the Uniroyal site.

Yeah I can understand going to their site for the info but from a news stand point don't you think it lacks some valuable information. I mean they don't even say to go the manufactures website for a complete listing of tire effected.

NEVER trust the news to get it complete or correct. Always go to the source.
