Default Lakesea tires

http://www.lakeseatyres.com/EN/challenger.html


Any one ever tried these tires? There's a guy here in Texas selling them for $325 each for 40's so I started looking into them and the only way to get them is to order a 20ft or bigger shipping container full of them, I was thinking about ordering a container of them in 37" with a friend of mine

Not all tires from China are bad, but these seem pretty unknown, and the webpage for them is poorly translated with English spelling errors. Personally, I like to keep money spent on tires here in the USA whenever possible, and I'm a firm believer that "you get what you pay for" when it comes to tires. If you order a crate of these with your buddy, I think both of you are in for one hell of a ride.

DJ1 and I say run away. It's a safety issue in this one. Remember the Firestone tire fiasco on the Explorer's??

Low tire pressure recommendations (Ford), overloaded vehicles, plus owners failing to check tire pressure regularly? Let's call it what it is.
