Hey why stop when you have made a collaspable car make collaspable tyres to go with it



Foreign Tire Sales, Inc. of Union, NJ is suing China's Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co. over a series of catastrophic failures of tires they manufactured that resulted in a fatal car crash in Pennsylvania.
Hangzhou has been manufacturing tires sold by FTS and other distributors that left out an extra layer of rubber between the steel belts ( easy mistake ) , causing them to overheat and have tread separation similar to the Firestone tires that failed on Ford Explorers several years ago.

Yes they can make things in quantity very cheaply, but it still seems they have no idea of what qualitity is or how to control it

Yes I think that is on the cards

Not becuase of the above, the Chinese Bike Death Sliders have barely shown any wear in the first 2,000 miles, but they are bakerlite hard and slide on any white lines.............in the dry

In their defence they are completely off road knobbly tyres, I've been looking at a set of road Metzlers about £90
