Putting my dials on. Picked up a set of diamondback tires/ 205/50/16. Actually look pretty good for 200 for all four! Tire shop wanted 460 for falkans.
Let the fun begin

Do those tires have a DOT label on them?
It should be a DOT number on the tire somewhere.

We use these tires as rains at the track.... Goodyear F1's
I noticed they had a made in China stamp on the side last year when I mounted a set.

Thats funny. The guy had some chinese tires that had the same tread pattern. Those only came in 17" or bigger.

Discount Tire - and probably others - use Brazilian and Chinese tires all day long, with long tread warranties...I don't have a dog in their hunt, just a customer.
