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.

Curious...

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.

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.
