I wonder what sort of legal issues and insurance denials he could be in for
if there was an accident and the powers involved discovered the origin of
those tires?

I too have the Nexen/Capital tire and they're doing just fine.

Cya,
Robert

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.<<<<<<<<<<
