Subject:Re: Recall on LT Tires

George Lyle on the Type 2 list has found a listing of the sizes of the
recalled tires:

LT235/75R15 (CR861 and CR857); LT225/75R16 (CR861); LT235/85R16 (CR860,CR861
and CR857); LT245/75R16 (CR861 and CR857); LT265/75R16 (CR860, CR861 and
CR857); and LT31x10.5-15 (CR857 and CR861) .  The tires have DOT numbers
that start with "7D" and end in either "02", "03"," 04" or "05".  While they
also make a 185R14C (H160), it is apparently NOT part of this recall.
(Still, if they were on my Vanagon, I'd be keeping a watchful eye on them
just in case!)

According to another report, the importer has enough funds to replace only
10% of the recalled tires. Then they will declare bankruptcy.

So far I have not seen any listing of the other brand names that came from
the same factory.
