I wonder what sort of legal issues and insurance denials he could be in for if there was an accident and the powers involved discovered the origin of those tires?

I too have the Nexen/Capital tire and they're doing just fine.

Cya, Robert

It is interesting that Michelin is still making them for foreign markets... I wonder if they are as overpriced in Mexico as they were in Canada. Last year I bought a set of Nexen's for half of what the Agilis sell for, and they are performing much better for me than the Agilis ever did.<<<<<<<<<<
