And it is not always the Chinese, I mean counterfeiters have been around in many areas. The problem is when it is a TIRE, that is a safety issue.

X2 Seems odd the the NHTSA only cares about meeting a minimum spec, however when you purchase a certain tire brand, there is an expectation of performance. When that performance is not met, it could very well be catastrophic.

It also seems odd that the dealer was seemingly able to weasel out of being held responsible. The dealer chose to make the purchase a questionable product, but hid that from the customer. One would assume there would be a class action taken against that dealer.
