Apparantly they manufacturer is a chinese company that doesn't even have enough money to fund their own recall. It is their US distributor who's been forced to do it.

as i read it, the chinese manufacturer does have money, but they are under no obligation to make a recall, it's up to the importer who imported the tires to do it since he's the US rep/distributor of said tires.

that said, how much do you really save buying cheap tires? does the risk warrant the savings?
