Hey Wolfie.....

Picked up a spare tire for the Fiero..... never saw one of these. On the sidewall it says " Voyager LX" and "Roadhandler" what is this thing? It does say made in USA, but I'm really curious.

'Roadhandler' is usually a Sears brand tire.

[Joe 1320]

Someone has to make it for them, I seriously doubt they make it themselves. Ken?

im 90% positive roadhandler is a smaller company under goodyear. I used to work at a goodyear store and im pretty sure that's what my manager tried to explain to me although i really didn't care.

[Joe 1320]

Thanks guys.

then ur 10% wrong.....
there is no tire company named "Roadhandler". thats Sears Brand Designation for thier brand.

Sears and companies like that... write a performance spec for the tires they want to sell..... they dictate UTQG numbers, ride and handling, overall tread life, warranty...and such. Smaller and sometimes large..tire companies "bid" on the specs. One year, Kelly might get the contract, next year, Cooper might. the dot code has a plant code in it. i can tell you who built the tire on any tire if you give me the code.

Kelly and Cooper's business is almost 50% "aftermarket" brands.

Ah.... thank's Kerm. I'll get the code tonight and post it after work.

Here are the codes:

That's all I could see in yet another day of rain.

the DOT code should look like this:

DOT MA L9 ABCD 039

the frist two leters after "DOT" is what i need.

I'm going to have to jack up the car and crawl under or pull the wheel 'cause there is no DOT stamp on the sidewall facing the outside. Go figure.

they mounted them with the code facing inwards. happens all the time............ unless they are directional..then the code will be on the outside.
