I stumbled across this while searching for something else.
It is a case in Wisconsin in which inappropriate tires were
installed on a Vanagon possibly leading to an accident and
in which Continental was found negligent.


I don't speak lawyerese, so that's my interpretation of this
goop.  My other interpretation is that if you misuse a tire,
the manufacturer is at fault.  Boy I love the USA.
Interesting thing too is that VW settled out of court on
this case too.


It's from 1998, so not sure if it's been re-hashed on the
list, but I didn't see anything in the archives.
