How about following the instructions given in the recall notification? Check the reference number for the defective tyres.

I dont care about vanity hoss...I know what its like to have nothing, I know how hard and cruel life can be, so dont take my post of me wondering if it affects me as any sign of being vain. The fact that vanity was the only thing that you got from my statement shows your lack of intelligence. And we wonder why we as a country cannot move forward. Had i said i have a set on my b14 im sure your comments would have been different...
