New York drivers heads up- More than 541,000 winter tires have been recalled. Does this affect you?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Prinx Chengshan Tire North America Inc. has recalled various sizes of Fortune Tormenta and Prinx Hicounty tires. The agency said the tires are labeled as snow tires, but "do not have sufficient traction to perform in all snow weather conditions."

"As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, 'New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles,'" the agency wrote.

The company recalled 541,632 tires in total and said it is working on a fix for the issue. Owner notification letters should be mailed out by February 1st 2025. Which by the way, is right in the middle of winter. So if you have any questions, you can contact the company at 310-205-8355, extension 109.

Are These the 10 Quirkiest Museums in Upstate New York? Take a Look!

I love these odd, quirky little museums that seem to pop up all over Upstate New York. They are so worth a half hour of your time to stop, explore, listen to the docents, and learn about some of the most fascinating facts about our region. For example, did you know that more wooden hand-carved painted carrousels were made in Western New York than in all the other factories in the U.S. combined? The museum is on this list. Did you know that there is a special museum located in the heart of the Catskills that relates to an ancient fishing sport? The museum is on the list. Did you know that one of only three cheese museums in the world in up here? It is on the list. Take a peek. You might learn something here!

Wow! Look At This! "A Star is Born" 29 Celebs Who Were Born in Upstate New York

There is a whole lot of star power on display in this gallery. We feature 29 celebrities who were born in Upstate New York. Many of the names are instantly familiar, such as Lucille Ball and Kirk Douglas, but it is the lesser known stars that are the most fun.

You will recognize most of these people by their faces rather than by their names. Still, no matter how small the role they played in a film or TV show, these actors left an indelible mark wherever and when ever they appeared on screen.

I mean, seriously, who can ever forget Buffalo-born actor Sorrell Booke? Name ring a bell? No? How about his character "Boss Hogg" on the hit TV show "The Dukes of Hazzard?" Now I am sure you remember him!

This list totals 29 celebrities, but we have a feeling that we are missing some. So, if you know a TV or movie star that was born in New York outside of New York City, please let us know over on our Facebook page! We really do want to hear from you!
