I thought I would share the following link about a tire recall being ordered on a Chinese tire manufacturer and distributor. These LT tires wouldn't be on your Trailmanor, but some of our members may possibly have them on their tow vehicles. This is FYI safety purposes, and if our administrators don't think it belongs here, then let me know and I (or they) can delete it.

Here is a snippet of the brands and sizes afffected so far:

According to the filing, the Hangzhou tires at issue were sold under at least four brand names -- Westlake, Compass, Telluride and YKS -- in these sizes: LT235/75R-15; LT225/75R-16; LT235/85R-16; LT245/75R-16; LT265/75R-16; and LT31X10.50-15.

I'm sorry I don't have any DOT numbers, so you can be sure, but that info has not been released yet. I need to find out, because I have actually sold some of the Westlake brand tires in a size 235/85R16.
