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.

Agreed!  Tough shit on FTS!  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!
