manholt Report post Posted June 16, 2020 Are both made by the same manufacturer, under different names? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tireman9 Report post Posted June 17, 2020 15 hours ago, manholt said: Are both made by the same manufacturer, under different names? The production dates for the tire involved are different. The Plant(s) involved are not both listed. I am thinking that since people seem to have so much difficulty finding and reading the DOT serial it may no longer be shown in all recall announcements. If I learn anything I will post the info here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
