According to my local rag (East Anglian Daily Times, 30 Dec 2005) under the heading 'Tyres recalled':
'Michelin is launching a recall of 255/35 ZR 20 97Y Michelin Pilot Sport Extra Load tyres.
'This decision results from the analysis of customer returns in Europe, which has revealed an
anomaly that in certain cases may lead to a rapid loss of air pressure in the tyre.
'This situation constitutes a potential safety risk. As a precautionary measure Michelin has
decided to exchange all the subject tyres. A freephone number (0800 056 7200) is being
made available to provide additional information relating to this operation.'
Our local paper is the master of understatement. The release might have been run as,
'Exploding Tyres: Many Feared Dead'.
Wonder what they mean by 'customer returns'. Little strips of melted rubber? Be interested if anyone runs Michelins as a matter of course.
I'd like to if they weren't so damn' expensive. Where can I get them on, say, a 50% discount?
