Who & where ( Not political )

[Steve McKellop]

Anyone know who makes these tires and/or where to buy them? They are what's on the '01 4x2 I have and what's on the '02 4x4 I bought this week. I need to replace one of them and need to know where to get it. The only name on them is " ALL SEASON" & "TRAIL A/P".

 

[Gavin Allan]

Medalist

Cavalier

Pathfinder



Take your pick.

 

[Steve McKellop]

Yeah, I Googled it and came up with those same names but didn't find any photos of them that matched my tires.

There should be a manufacturer code that will tell you where and who produced. Getting ready to walk out of the house, but a quick search online and I am sure you can find how to do this.



If not, I am sure there are mambers than can get you a link, of course some others that will tell you everything except helpful information.

having a bad hair day Tom:lol:

I used to work in the Sears Auto dept and if I remember correctly, it is a tire sold throught them, kind of a "house" brand. I would check with them.

Air!









I'm sorry,Todd. I couldn't help that!:lol::lol:



I'll have to see if it's the same name or if I can get a DOT code off of it.



I'll check with Sears too. Thanks!

 

[Bill Barber]

Tom is correct

That could be a BFG Korean knockoff, on closer expection, i think it may be made by Nitto, than again it looks like a Kumho (also offshore)

wait, it could also be a sumotomo tire, or maybe made by dayton in there Somali plant.

Mr caymen will respond with helpfull info shortly, than you will have your answere, the finite answere the end all be all answere.

I am sure you can find how to do this...

If not, I am sure...

I am sure I have doubts about a finite answer.

If not, I'm not sure I doubts about a finite answer.

 

[Steve McKellop]

I found this reference so tomorrow I'll get my DOT code and go from there. Thanks!

 

[Nik Hoffman]

I do believe it is made by Medalist and is considered a private label sold through Sears, I looked on their website but it wasnt listed, probably worth a free call to the store though. I would look on eBay too, who knows, could be one there.

 

[Tom Schindler]

Sorry, Steve that I was unable to find a website like the one you found yourself.



I had a little date with the wife. Went to get Pizza and Beer then went to a drive-in movie. Seen Angels & Demons.



We had a good time.

[Steve McKellop]

The inside of the tire says STEEL RADIAL & TRAIL A/P.



The DOT code reads BF9LF93J0505 but now I cant get back on the site I was on yesterday to look it up!:angry:

 

[Tom Schindler]

It won't load for me either.

Manufacturer Name UNIROYAL GOODRICH TIRE MANUFACTURING

DOT BF

Address WOODBURN, INDIANA

UNITED STATES

 

[Tom Schindler]

That is a god thing. You have tires made by Michelin.





Tom

 

[Steve McKellop]

This link works too, FYI.



Now to find the local retailer.

 

[Dave S 2]

WHAT????

How does one get Michelin out of Uniroyal / Goodrich????

 

[Steve McKellop]

Michelin bought Uniroyal Goodrich in 1989 . But that just means the tires were made by a company that Michelin owns. I'd like to think that they're equal quality to Michelin brand name tires but I doubt it.........



Article date:

November 1, 1989



Michelin buys Uniroyal Goodrich; deal makes Michelin the world's biggest tyre company.
