        Good point but hard to  say.  There is no indication on the tires
that they came from Mexico.   the only real point is there is no DOT
certification number.  Maybe that's  all that's needed !   So...........if you need
tires while out of the  country what are you to do ?????????  Not sure there
are any tires in  Mexico for our vans with DOT certification.  I'll have to
check that point  out next time I go there but it looks like it will not be
next year !

in for
if there was an accident and the  powers involved discovered the origin of
those  tires?<<<<<<
