If you or somebody you know is running Michelin Pilot Power 3 tires, be advised that Michelin has issued a recall.

THE RECALL: Michelin North America, Inc. (Michelin) is recalling certain Pilot Power 3 replacement sport motorcycle tires, size 180/55ZR17 (73W), manufactured between April 17, 2016 and May 7, 2016. These tires are missing the required maximum load and corresponding inflation pressure information on the sidewall. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires-Other Than Passenger Cars."

WHAT COULD HAPPEN: Without the required maximum load and corresponding inflation pressure information on the sidewall, improper use of the tire may result, increasing the risk of tire failure and a crash.

THE FIX: Michelin will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 25, 2017. Owners may contact Michelin Consumer Care at 1-866-324-2835.

Go do some burnouts and stoppies on your PP3s! Of course, everyone will just wear the tires out like normal and bring them in for a free change. I'm sure they're covering the cost of labor, too.

LOL see if you can find some PP3's out there without the max load info and buy them!

Shinko for the win

This recall is proof positive that the world is run by lawyers and bean counters... this information is in your Owners manual.

Guess I'm getting new tires. Noticed that too
