THE TIRE RACK (WWW.TIRERACK.COM) IS SELLING TIRES FOR MINIVANS WITH A LOAD INDEX RATING OF 96T. THEY TELL CUSTOMERS THAT LOAD INDEX IS PROPER FOR MINIVANS. THAT IS INCORRECT ACCORDING TO MICHELIN AND OTHER TIRE MANUFACTUERS. THE LOAD INDEX RATING NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 98. I RECEIVED 31000 MILES ON A SET OF MICHELIN X-1 TIRES THAT HAVE AN 80000 MILE WARRANTY. MICHELIN AGREED TO WARRANTY THE TIRES EVEN THOUGH THE TIRE RACK SOLD ME INCORRECT TIRES. THE TIRE RACK MUST BE STOPPED FROM PUTTING OUT FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT LOAD RATING INDEX. MICHELIN HAS TOLD ME THEY HAVE RECEIVED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT TIRES AND THEY ARE ALL RELATED TO TREADWEAR AND THE PROPER LOAD INDEX RATING. DT
