  • advertisements are so annoying

  • Well im looking to buy 4 tires for a 1997 honda accord w/ 17"-19" rims so what size tire would i need for each size (17", 18", orand 19")? I just have mulipul choices and the go from 17-19". And what tire would you recomend?

  • We tested FEDERAL 'made in China' street tires for racing and they held up pretty well actually, even in 4-hour enduro racing with changing tires that I personally drove. They cost around 30-40% cheaper than Yokohama or brand tires. I'm not saying to buy cheap tires - I believe tires are the most important safety component - any racer will tell you that. But you cannot generalize that all made in China low-cost tires are sub-standard.

    I do agree 4 for $99 is fishy

  • @joannindy funny all of the food in america is kind of killing us and the us let this stuff in.. tires are no different.. they let alot of thing go at the cost and safety of the citizens..

  • hes 100% correct bought me some korean ( nexen ) sold at this popular tire shop 1 tire sidewall is now torn like some one slashed it , its only 18 mos old all 4 i bought new .

  • The safety standards are primarily on paper. For instance, Kumho tires are 'rated' as all-season. The Kumho Ecsta ASX is one of the worst all-season tires you could buy. At least in its category. The safety issues haven't shown themselves until people had them on their cars for a while. That becomes a real issue in the Upper Midwest where we get more snow and rain.

  • I don't agree with him, if those tires did not meet US highway safety standard it can NOT be import it here!!!

  • i have "tigar hitris" tyres are they any good ?!
