Rick,

Yep, it's a shame, but I've been BURNED too many times by too much shoddy Chinese (not so much Taiwan as PRC) crap, produced with virtual slave labor in a country hungry for our social and economic demise. Keep demanding Wal-mart prices and ignoring Wal-mart (lack of) quality and their economy will eclipse ours.

Hal,

There's gotta be a market for tires for these cars, especially considering the relative prices tire makers charge for motorcycle tires and the rate at which Cobra owners are likely to wear out tires. Perhaps an upside of having "too many Cobras" on the roads (see thread elsewhere) is an increased market for specialty tires.
