'Counterfeit' tires pose consumer risk

I don't always agree with CR's results or their political agendas, but I do feel they are impartial in their judging of products. Even if I feel a different product is better, they may reveal a criteria I had not considered but feel is important.

Counterfeit goods are showing up everywhere including some aircraft parts and in critical ABS and air bag systems on automobiles. Sometimes these parts are vetted out of the system before they are installed or fail, but I wonder how many slipped through and carry markings of legitimate companies that make quality products.
