This is just for the front tire. If yours doesn't read "Made In France" its not effected.

from the article "June 23rd, 2007 by Paul Crowe - "The Kneeslider")

so i am assuming this is the same one that was talked about one here last year and not a new one.?

Well, I guess if your tires are from that time frame, this would be good info to have. No?

Rocco,

Thanks for the info on it. I didn't know it was that long ago. It made me go out look pronto.

GOOD INFO. thanks for the post. This is the first I've heard of this recall. Just went out to check my front tire and sure enough, I have one of the recall tires on my '06 Ss. I'll be calling Michelin tomorrow.
Once again saved by another Badwebber!

Damn! I was hoping some good would come out of my bike being down for a year. Mine was made in Spain though. I'm ready for a new set of tires too.

Looks like one of those goofy helmet mohawks got stuck to the tire.
