I wouldn't buy them. They're made in China, which leads me to believe the quality is sub par. $209 a set is a helluva deal though, but you get what you pay for.

****, the last few sets of Goodyear Marathon Radials we've gotten for customers have had "made in china" on them. We've always had the best luck with Japanese tire brands.

That is hella-cheap. You always get what you pay for but I would go for it.

DOT approved right? So you should be fine. As soon as china starts making tires, and selling them under the radar non DOT approved, then we have a problem. but honestly, you should be fine.

**** i just picked up a set of 245/35/20's for $65 a pop! i love cheap tires.

I have these on my 03 accord 6-6 coupe and they are awful. They loose traction quite easily when braking in any kind of wet conditions.

Best price we have is for the Kumho ECSTA AST currently at $ 80 (plus a little for shipping).

Lulz.

DOT approved doesn't mean much of anything when it comes to the quality of a product. It's merely means that they meet absolute minimum legal requirements to be operated on a public highway. I wouldn't base my choice of any product on that.
