U.S. safety officials have ordered a New Jersey tire importer to recall as many as 450,000 tires that it bought from a Chinese manufacturer and sold to U.S. distributors. According to Foreign Tires Sales of Union, New Jersey, the tires were sold to six distributors. More was written on this safety issue in the Products Liability section of this issue. The tires at issue were sold under at least four brand names: Westlake, Compass, Telluride and YKS, in these sizes: LT235/75R-15; LT225/75R-16; LT235/85R-16; LT245/75R-16; LT265/75R-16; and LT3X10.5-15.
