Probably not a very good tire, and they are the wrong size.

Man, when I was in China, I saw that they are making some really good products and sending a guy into space and all.
But Jeez, they need to hire an American to name their products.
Bet that is where they are from. Might be ok but I would wait a while and let somebody else do the testing with something as important as a tire.

They're the wrong size. The 40 does mean a lower profile, but that means the circumference of the tire(the distance around it) is smaller. Putting too small, or too big tires on will mess up your speedo and transmission.

My $.02.....don't do it

WTF...you trying to say that chinese tires are inferior? Or chinese products? Im glad you went to china and all but you sound like a ****ing ignorant dumbass. I bet thoes tires would out perform the japanese bridgestone Re92's if they fit right.

Actually......

1. It will look really, really bad
2. Your speedometer will be off by quite a bit.
3. It will be UNSAFE because they are not the right size.

I wish to say that I am extermely sorry for having offended anyone.
I have been in China twice 3 weeks each time adopting my daughters.
I love them, and therefore that country, more than anyone could possibly imagine.
Again I meant absolutely nothing negative.
Mike

Easy dude. He did say they make good products, his only complaint was the name. I'm sure he meant no disrespect by it. I personally don't care as to the name I see on the tires as long as they dont fall apart on me, but when it comes to marketing something in a foreign country, its not a bad idea to have a local company handle the marketing. Chevy Nova is probably a good example of that.
