Michelin 2CT RECALL!

[cosmo]

If this was an auto tire that was common on say minivans....it would be the lead story on the news. Something is not right about this whole episode and I suspect we will be hearing more.......not necessarily from Michelin......and not liking what we hear.

Holy shid, I hope not. Cause I do occasionally on every ride push the limits

(cosmo @ Jun. 18 2007,12:36) Here is a photo of the purported tire failure problem. Remember this is the Interweb and everything is FWIW. Also, the latest hearsay is that ALL PP tires made in France with the 979T and 980T ID will be recalled...front and REAR. I smell a tire shortage in the works.

Ummm, this is not a slow leak around the bead...

Maybe B.S.- it IS a full thickness tire, though.




Glad I stuck with Qualifiers, I was THAT close to buying 2CT's...

I'm going to find out what the heck is going on, hopefully get a 2CT replacement, hopefully before September, and maybe look at other tires when the front one wears out, or just go with a black '08
