MOMO tires?

[UG_Passat]

I know MOMO makes wheels, steering wheels and shift knobs (had a short anatomico knob on one of my previous cars), but I never knew they sell tires also (must be a recent thing)

With model names and numbers like:

2. Outrun M3.

3. 4Run M4.

4. Outrun M2.

...I wonder what brand of auto manufacturer is their target market

"Tempo Metereolocical Flex" (name of their rubber compound) Heavens!

They got the MOMO mojo...bodee-oh-do...dontcha know.

"Acme Tires" just won't do anymore.

Made in China? https://www.tirebusiness.com/articl...dding-branded-tire-line-to-u-s-portfolio

http://en.jinyutires.com/news/xwdt-news.jsp This company also makes Blacklion branded Tires.

I was thinking about trying these out until I found out where they are made. I stumbled across the Momo M20 Summer Tires on Walmarts website.
https://momo.com/en-us/product/outrun-m20/ DOT 1BCRP 4P M1 Plant code? This model might be made here: PIRELLI DE VENESUELA, C.A. 1B VALENCIA ESTADO CARABOBO VENEZUELA http://www.tiresafetygroup.com/tire-dot-plant-codes-sorted-plant-code/

Interesting. No reviews for these tires, they are priced low.

If BMW were to do something like that it would be like when Beretta sued Chevrolet for copyright infringement, it would be a waste of time.

Judge ruled that nobody would get a gun confused with a car, therefore no copyright was infringed. So, if nobody would get a tire confused with a car, there would be no case. It has to be actionable and injurious which means actually taking an opportunity away based on the infringement.

Yes MOMO tires are for cars. If you want tires for your cow you get MOOMOO tires.

That made me laugh far more than it should have. Thanks

Hmmm, not a very well chosen name:

MOMO has been around a lot longer than whatever the news is using to scare parents this year.

If some fictitious character or other idiotic "challenge" is actually convincing kids to commit suicide, eat Tide pods, or inflict 3rd degree burns on themselves, then parents clearly need to actually be PARENTS, and do a much better job of parenting their kids.

Except that the Bayerische company DID win a tort just like that against the (Ford World rally Championship Team) rally prep company/team "M-Sport" (short for Malcolm Wilson Motorsports) for copyright/trademark infringement on their whole ///M thing.

Made them change the marquee name to "MS-RT" instead, so it does happen.

I STILL have M-Sport stickers/badges on MY car though, procured BEFORE this whole suit happened, so pound sand Bimmer!

So I Ordered a set off Walmart.com then cancelled the order three hours later. I got cold feet, they are not proven and just using the MOMO name to sell them. They are very inexpensive and tempted me. Not worth another bad experience, take me back to the Yokohama A008, AVS, and BFG Comp T/A Days!
