Discount Tire recall

Likely does not affect anyone here, but wanted to post up in case

My assistant had a flat yesterday after work. Upon inspection she discovered that the valve stem was dry rotted and cracked on that tire, and the other 3 were just about to go as well. Someone told her that Discount Tire had done a recall because of that. I looked it up on Discount's website to confirm (Since my tires are also from Discount). Fortunately for me, I bought my tires May '08, so they are not in the recall date range.

Here's the website info: http://www.dtccares.com/
If you have received our Customer Advisory letter or were a Dill Region Discount Tire Customer between August 1, 2006 and July 31, 2007, you may have had a defective Dill Air Control valve stem installed on your vehicle. On December 9, 2008, Dill announced a safety recall of the valve stems. If you are a potentially affected Discount Tire/America's Tire customer and you have not already scheduled an appointment for free valve stem replacement service, please schedule an appointment online, or call 1-888-356-0262 to schedule a free replacement of your potentially defective valve stems.

and here's a list of states that fall into the Dill Region: http://www.dtccares.com/dillRegions.shtml

interesting.... that fact that you have an assistant is anyway



Discount Tire is a madhouse, at least the one over here is, this should bring a rush of folks to contribute to the madness. Hopefully no one was hurt because of the valve stem problem...

My assistant:

how do I get an assistant?

Oooooohhhh so that's what we are calling them now.

"assistants"


Now I get it.

I guess it is better than calling them "chips" or like my buddy would say "a piece of chicken on the side"

I think he is looking for a new stinger ornament.... I thought I had a pic of Jody taking a pic of the hottie hanging off his "stinger" during the new years run. It was lost with the rest...

Shipping would be reasonable since she lives in Tomball. The expense would be paying off her hubby

oooohhh damn. She has the hubby mod...

Does that make it a challenge Jody?

(we really should get back on topic and I know it is mostly my fault..... Apologies N2)
