Michelin tyre recall

#1 Post by Falcoholic » Thu Jul 12, 2007 8:04 am

I have a Michelin Pilot Power 2CT tyre on the front of the G/F's CBR600 and will be getting a rear to match this evening.

Has anyone heard of a recall on the front ones i.e 120/70/17 due to the thread departing company with the carcass?

I've been reading a wee bit about it on the net but I cannae seem to find the official Michelin line on this.

Awaiting the phone call from Michelin but last night I got a rear put on it and now it corners like it's on rails.

BTW the tyres are fookin sooperb, super sticky on the edges and hard in the middle.
