BF Goodrich tire recall

Greetings All,
I just ran across this article on another rv forum I frequent and thought some of you might be interested in checking it out.

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully this will help somebody.

I got to go check my truck. Many Ford F350 come with BF Goodrich tires.

Edited Just checked my truck and although I have BF Goodrich tires they are not the ones on recall.

My own experience in dealing with the recall has been positive.

I replaced the stock tires on our Elkridge with the recalled BFGoodrich Commercial T/As back in February. I think I had less than 500 miles when I found out about the recall. Last Wednesday I talked to the Costco tire center where I bought them and the manager said Michelin (who owns BFG tires) authorized them to replace them with whatever model of my choice since they don't have an ETA on the T/As.

To make a long story short, 5 new XPS Ribs are on the way to the tire center and are due to arrive Monday! GREAT service from Costco and Michelin/BFG. Pain to jack up and remove the wheels, again, but a nice upgrade on the tires at no cost to me. The T/As were about $175 each and the ribs were about $285.
