Put this in the TSB forum because I don't see a recall forum, unless I'm not allowed to view that forum? :look:
Recall on Michelin LTX M/S LT 225/75R16 115/112R LRE

I have these on my work van so need to get them replaced.
The good side for me is that I have 11,000 miles on my van this past year and now I get free tires! :wtg:

Did you actually check the sidewall to make sure your tires fall under this?

Wow! I like their description of the symptom: "experienced tread loss and/or rapid air loss" ...
...i.e. they explode?! :rofl3:

Metal halide lamps (those bright, white, lamps usually used in gymnasiums, factories and parking lots) have a warning on them that most people ignore - "Turn off lamps once a week for 15 minutes."
By doing that you greatly reduce the possibility of what one of our engineers always described as: "a violent EOL (end-of-life) condition synonymous with a sudden non-passive failure resulting in a high-pressure shower of super-heated quartz particles into the immediate atmosphere."
IE: the lamp will explode.
:rofl:

Our yard light is this type of bulb, even though it turns off during the day we have had 2 of them over the years explode violently. :surprised:

Nice to get a free set of tires after putting 11,000 miles on. :grin:
