According to her, the tires affected are the: Pilot Power 2CT Fronts only 120/70 ZR 17 Look for Made in France With DOT (date) codes of: 6UCW 979T and 6UCW 980 T Again on fronts only, made in France, with those two DOT date codes. Tires need to be inspected before further use. I’m sure riders may want to make their own phone calls to confirm this info. John Merlin Williams Ann Arbor, Michigan
