Wife came home the other day complaining her left front tire was "soft". Checked and it was down to 15psi! Put air into it and checked again next morning and found it had again lost 5psi. She took it to Tire Kingdom, only because this was the only tire place near her work. Asked me to call them, they said that there was a nail through the side wall, and that the right was right on the limit. I agreed to have the two replaced, and they suggested either Kumho or Uniroyal. As I have heard reasonable reports about Kumho I agreed to have these fitted. Imagine my surprise when me wife came home with tires marked FateO AR35!! After close inspection found these to be made in Argentina!
Tried finding these on the net and eventually found them on Google, but,surprise, only information was in Spanish. I know I'm in Florida, but please! The only other place they were listed was on, of course, Tire Kingdom.
Went back there this morning and were told that these were made by Kumho!!! This I find hard to believe, and sounds like a scam. Anybody else ever heard of this brand? I think I am going to get them changed to something a little more well known, they have Fulda for about the same price.
Any thoughts, etc., would be welcome,
The Bear
