hi red, that's correct, but MOST of the replacements covered here have been (michelin and goodrich...)
yoko' makes good tires. the replacement you've selected is interesting...
sort of a radial tire that looks and rides like a biased ply tire, and from the info it is a
summer only tires?
thick/stiff sidewalls and a ribbed design. hope this one works well for ya.
it looks a little narrow and 'not radial enough' for my taste, but could be great for some applications.
srw, robertsunrus and others wondering about the transition from canada to china ...
my "newest" canadian made tire was from 36th week of 05...
it' was a lumpy ugly beast...
i just traded it for a 4th week 08 chinese tire today.
this trade/change under warranty (now done twice) is covered here...
180,000 miles on my goodyear marathons!
my 'oldest' chinese made tire is from early in 06, like around the 14th as i recall...
and has ALL the newer features.
so the transition from canadian to chinese plants was SOME TIME in late 2005.
one interesting thing about the change...
the 'canadian tires' have 6 plys lisited, (2 steel, 2 polyester,
2 nylon)
while the chinese tires have 5 plys listed (2 steel, 2 polyester,
1 nylon)
this is covered some back in post 238 and 241...
anyway my BEST guess in the change over was late in 2005 or VERY EARLY in 2006....
which makes scott's notation here SO VERY IMPORTANT...
cheers
