Any one have any experience with this tire ?
Any ideas on who makes them ?
They do say "Made in USA" on the side of the tire.

I purchased these this weekend for my old accord at Discount Tire.
It was an unexpected and needed purchase - front end alignment was off and toe was out.
Chewed the inside front tires to the cords. Good thing I checked them when i did.
Major oversight on my part.

These were the only ones that were in stock .

They seem to be new , no info when i search the interwebs .
 
I was told by Toyo … only got 32k on a set … and on a Fusion Hybrid …

You still have them on your car , or at 32K were they worn out ?

You can find the mfr from the DOT code. The first two letters after the word DOT indicate the factory

DOT - 000 AXY AR2 2918 - I'm drawing a blank on this too. Germany ?

They are beginning to use 3-digit DOT codes now. I just haven't seen a tire that actually has them until now. The old 2-digit codes are converted to 3-digit format by placing a 1 before the old code. For example, if the old code is AX, the new code would be 1AX.

000 is the code for Kumho's new US factory in Macon, GA. They seem to be the first place that is actually using the new format

Here is the NHTSA's tire mfr database
