I can't find a manyufacturer name on my tires. Yes, I know that if I cared
enough, I could look for a DOT number and track them down. I don't care
that much. Anyhow, they appear to be some sort of fake Michelin in 165-15.
They are hard as rocks. I actully smoked one leaving a traffic light in
Waco.
