    As if you can call a silent recall a recall.


    Dunno what's meant by "silent recall", but here's one that was right out loud:

    As I remember his story, it was a voluntary mfr. recall of some OE ST's on his fiver that led ShelterBay Chris ("Me Again") to his first set of Michelin Ribs. I remember his account of getting the recall notice, and putting the full refund he received down on those Ribs.

    Disclaimer:

    This is based only on my sometimes flawed memory...I feel sure that if it's wrongedy-wrong-wrong it will soon be corrected! ;)

    I thought the mantra demanded that ALL LT's were good to go. You only get into trouble with ST's.

    It's called Karma.

    :B

  • Thanks for the post. I believe I've got 6 of those on the dually. Free new tires! That sounds good.
  • Yep, I have 6 of 'em that is part of the recall. We purchased ours in mid 2010, and I've verified the DOT Sequence. Next step is to get the appt set up & get it done. I'll report back on the replacement tires.
  • NO....I have LTX A/T 2s

    YES Michelin has recall.
    This one for 16" Jan/2010 thru June/2013

    And for some 'P' and 'LT' in 18", 19" & 20" Sept/2012 thru June/2013
    Both recalls were previously posted yesterday

    All tire mfg. have recalls.....some voluntary, some 'forced'

    Good to see a great tire mfg. step up and do it voluntarily
