DOT - In our store, you always know what you are buying!
In the tire detail we display DOT* (week and year of manufacture) and
country of origin *of most stock inventory. Beware of shops selling couple
years old inventory. Did you know there is such thing as Barum made in China?
Labeling
The observed value such as grip and rolling resistance are contradictory
properties. It is very difficult to produce an A-marked tire for rolling
resistance and A-marked tire for braking on wet surface. When it comes to
choosing the right tire, labeling shouldn´t be the most decisive point for
average customer. Racing tires have better grip and therefore higher rolling
resistance.
