Hi Frank,

That's a fine tire for Mexico, but I am not sure you could pass a safety
inspection in Ontario without that DOT on the sidewall.

It is interesting that Michelin is still making them for foreign
markets... I wonder if they are as overpriced in Mexico as they were in
Canada. Last year I bought a set of Nexen's for half of what the Agilis
sell for, and they are performing much better for me than the Agilis ever
did.

Happy Trails,

Greg Potts
