WARNING !!! light truck tires

In case you know someone with these tires...
Cheap Chinese tires missing a safety feature are being blamed for numerous
traffic accidents in which several people have already died. The safety
feature in question is a six-millimeter layer of rubber that is supposed to
be placed between the steel belts to strengthen the tire. But Foreign Tire
Sales, which imported the tires, says Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Company
removed the safety feature without notifying its U.S. distributors,
according to ConsumerAffairs.com.

The tires are manufactured by Hangzhou and imported by Foreign Tires Sales,
Inc., of Union, N.J. The tires were sold under brand names Westlake,
Telluride, Compass and YKS. This particular safety alert affects light truck
tires only. As many as 450,000 tires may have been imported.

Talk about a bummer.........racing to the vet with fido dying of
poisoning from Chinese dog food & your POS Chinese tire explodes
killing you both. Oh well, your friggin Chinese made coffin will
probably be a piece of **** too.

My Japanese Tires just tear apart too, I can see the white thread inside the
opened wound of the tire. Heehee.. Still using it. Bought them from
TireRack, I will see how well they will handle their warranty. Probably
will give me a hard time trying to avoid excellent customer service but I
could be wrong. I will wait and see.

FireStone, ChineseStone, JapaneseStone all screwy tires any way. Just have
to watch out and monitor your tires frequently.

Stupid Larry.
