US Media Ignored New report on Chinese Tires

FTS who impoted tires from China filed a supplenmtal report on 07/03/2007 to NHTSA.
The report is on the top place of first page on NHTSA website.

Two important points are new to many westerners because their free media intentionally ignored:
1. The tires addressed by the report meet or exceed FMVSS 119.
2. The van involved in the accident in Philadelphia, Pa had wrong tires. It had three China-made tires sized 245/75R16 and one Michelin tire sized 225175R16. A review of the tire guide indicates that the Michelin tire was the correct size for that vehicle while the China-made tires were not.
