My stepson recenty purchaced a 2014 Honda CRV and it came with a brand of Tire called "Doral" look like decent tires, plenty of tread left and they had a 3318 manufacture date, but first thing that came to mind for me was the old Doral cigarette brand. My stepson said that Doral tires are made by Sumitomo.
Weird private-label tire names
- Thread starter Jarlaxle
- Start date
The dealer replaced 2 of the OEM tires on my car with Westlakes. OEMs were still on the front, so I replaced them when I bought the car. Thought I might as well put Westlakes on it, as I despise mismatched tires. They're great in the rain, fair on dry cornering. They'll get a high-speed heat test tomorrow when I drive to Oklahoma. So far, so good at 3,000 miles. I just thought Westlake was odd. Sounds like a housing development.

Almost bought a set but didn't want Asian tires.
In the end got Taiwan tires anyway. Grrrr.

We have a few semis at work with Double Coin tires on them. They seem to be doing well wear wise.
I saw Giti for the first time on a loaner Tiguan I had some months back - I thought they were some junk tires slapped on this loaner. Researching they built a large manufacturing plant in either South Carolina or North Carolina and are the OEM supplier for the Tiguan. Still relatively new in the US market though.
I fitted a set of Roadshine tyres to a Toyota Estima today, cheapest tyres we could find. And some Laufenn to my daughter's Sirion. Laufenn are another Hankook brand
You mean like the Starfire Solarus AP which is a USA made Cooper? I think of a Science Fiction Movie ever time I see a set.
At the risk of being political but spotted at the local Ace...
The tire was made in China. Can you say "ironic"? I knew you could!
And the DOT code manufacturing date was 1416 - well before, ahem, a certain election.

My daughter is looking for a teaching job and decided to go economy on tires for her 200.
She ended up buying Waterfall Eco Dynamic in the 215/55R17 flavor from Walmart. They were free shipped to my house ($200 out the door for 4) so I can mount and balance when she comes over. They don't look bad, considering. The reviews were actually very good.
We'll see how they balance.

That's the tire you get on a "tire and wheel special" apparently. The tread kind of looks Michelin-like.
