"P" rated tires in 18", 19" & 20" on a trailer :H

I bought some Firestones this time around knowing good and well that they pop when overloaded and under inflated. What's the recall for? I'm too lazy to go look it up for myself.:B

Hannibal wrote:What's the recall for? I'm too lazy to go look it up for myself.:Bbasically the same problem they had with their XRV tires a few years ago, pop a sidewall.

Old-Biscuit wrote:"P" rated tires in 18", 19" & 20" on a trailer :HYep, "P" rated are passenger car tires, like on SUV's. Not LT rated for pickups or RV's. OP must not know tires well.

That is total BS!

There are numerous recalls that come straight from the Manufacture all the time. Chrysler had one a few years back when WE caught a issue with our tilt wheels and notified the NTSB. Chrysler issued a voluntary recall to inspect and replace any columns that where built into our vehicles.

Manufactures find defects all the time on there own and issue recalls. It's the sign of a responsible company.

Don

Yup you are right. That sentence was worded poorly. Meant to say it helps greatly if they are reported.

Yea there are a few on here they all they spout is Barbara Striesand. I make a comment about Michelin Standing up and look what happens.

Many Michelin Haters out there, I think it is a way to justify being too cheap to buy quality.

I would rather buy pretty much any brand other than Michelins myself. But that is based on my personal experiences with Michelin tires.....they are horrible. No way I would put that junk on my 60,000 dollar truck. Too cheap to buy quality.....LOL.....

I hope you like your General Ameritracks, mine were 2/3 worn out in 25K and had a big knot on one of the front tires tread.

I don't expect 100k on these Michelins because of towing but every set of Michelins or BFG's I have gotten over 100K no problem.

If what I said did not fit you why reply?

Because you made a stupid blanket statement....

Get used to it, that is mostly what he puts out. He does not know that are a lot of quality tires out there, without the insane price tag of Michelins.If it is not what he has it is junk, period. Have had two sets of Michelin LTX tires, and finally learned my lesson, no more Michelins. This was few years back, but I doubt there is any change that would get me back to a Michelin tire.
