Counterfeit tyres??

this has been x-posted on the 993 board:

Has anyone ever heard of counterfeit tyres being offered for sale, I am worried about buying what seems a too good to be true offer on some Michelin Sport Pilots.

TIA

I suppose it could be done, never heard of it, but...

Maybe they are retreads?

Have you actually seen them?

Just a few thoughts.

I doubt it...its not cheap to make a tire mold so unless there is a huge 'underground' network I wouldn't lose sleep on it.

Yeah, you are probably right, cheers

Poon,
Your 993 is beautiful!! As to the tire issue I doubt if they are bogus, stolen perhaps, but not bogus.

Larry,
Thanks for the thumbs up, you are probably right about the tyres.

Tim - you got it, about 2-4 hundred thousand per mold for a HP tire mold.
