What on earth are you talking about?? There is lots of regulation in the
tire industry as well as just about every other aspect of the auto biz.
Just look at any tire and you can see all kinds of mandated regulatory
info molded right into it. There are standards for size, load rating,
pressure, speed rating, tread wear rating, temperature rating... I
believe this info appears on every tire courtesy of FEDERAL LAW. The
issue in this case seems to be a willful cover up of manufacturing
defects. This company should fry along with the corporate counsel and
top execs who seem to be behind the cover up.
