This was on DT and figured there were guys on here that might want to know.

Good find. Also nice to see Toyo/Nitto is jumping on it fast and doing the right thing. I guess the Firestone deal a couple of years ago taught all the tire companies a lesson that they need to "man up" and fix issues right away...

 

That sucks. I'm sure this whole Toyota fiasco is helping the recall decisions as well.
