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. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
