I wanted to notify all my good friends here of a very important safety issue that has just come to light! More problems with Chinese imports! Tires: Westlake, Telluride, Compass AND YKS brands! That's why I no trust the Chineeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! Yes, sad but true. Turns out most of the tires were sold in New Jersey, by a discounter called Foreign Tire Sales, Union, NJ. Turns out the tires passed inspection when initially inspected and passed for distribution, and then the evil Chineeeee changed production methods. It seems the Chineee stopped putting the very necessary gum strips in between the tire belts! Can you say "Shady business dealings!" AND "Fraud!"? Yeah, I figured you could! The tires were produced at Hangzhou Zhongee Rubber of Hangzhou, China since 2002. FTS sold 450,000 of the tires. It is unknown how many of the tires are defective. FTS is asking that the federal government, namely the National Highway Traffic Safety department, for assistance, saying the recall of all the tires by FTS would place it in bankruptcy. So....yet again, the government of the United States is being asked to help pay for the dereliction of the Chineeeeeee!!!!! All here are probably aware of the pet food fraud that was perpetrated, whereby the Chineee put melamine, which is recognized as a poison in the US, into the pet food to raise the protein count. To my minds eye, it would serve FTS right if the federal government took a hands-off approach. After all, when you sow badly, that is how ye shall reap! This information comes to us from the reputed and respected Bloomsberg News, written by Margaret Cronin Fisk and Gopal Ratman.

Why didn't they set up a system to spot check the tire quality or force the exporter to post some kind of bond? Wonder how many good, reputable tire manufacturers margins were hurt while these tires were sold? Importers need to realize the Chinese government/companies will rarely (never?) stand behind their product. In for the quick buck. Too bad FTS, you loose!
