I bought a set from America's Tire since they got a $40 rebate deal going on. I recieved the tires today and noticed the fronts (225/45) are made in Japan, where the (255/40) are made in USA.

I don't care about the origin, but the ones from Japan are rated 'Y', and the ones from the US is 'W' rated.

wth lol?

 

guess no one knows lol.

 

i have no idea, but they are great tires for the money i had them on my old 350z and they handled great

 

i have them on my DD - they last a really long time! I had them on for about 45k miles and just flipped them due to some camber wear. i am estimating that they will last me another 15k miles

 

thats insane!

 

flip them? aren't they directional tires haha
