I sure hope so. We've seen it happen too many times. You'll never see me put cheap tires on the truck or the trailer. If something ever happened to the horses, I'd never forgive myself.

Nankang has been nanCANXED by at least one manufacturer. KZ does not use them anymore.

This right here is even more fuel on the fire!

As things like this crop up, even more attention is being paid to "BILL'S BUDDIES" and the quality (READ: "ACCEPTABILITY") of their products.


Do we really WANT anything that comes from there?
(He asks, disgustedly...)

When I was like 18, I bought a st of I think Yokahamas ? for my 57 chevy, I got tired of finding a flat tire every other morning. Worst tires I have ever bought.

30 years later I still only, or make a attempt to only buy quality tires.

Lesson learned early! David
