Our Baby Has New Shoes
Last month there were several threads about Michelin's recall of one size of light truck tires. The manufacture date range of the recall went from the second week of 2010 to the twenty fifth week of 2012. I had replaced the rear duals on our Class C in 2010 and the front and spare tires in 2011. A quick check of the dates on the front tires and outer duals showed that they were included in the recall. I was certain that the spare was also included and possibly both inner duals.
Our local Michelin dealer ordered seven 225/75R16 LTX M/S2 115R load range E tires, which were installed Monday. All had date codes in mid-December 2013, about as new as possible.
It turned out that one of the inner duals had a date code from 2009, so it wasn't covered by the recall. I had that one replaced too, as it was pushing 5 years old.
Our baby now has seven factory fresh tires for the cost of one!
