Hello to everyone! I added new Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (225 45-17) in late autumn and found out with the “early cleaning” of the summer bikes that the good ones are “Made in Brazil”, which has irritated me a bit. Not that I believe that the Brazilians can not also stick tires together but well . . . . In any case I have read here in the forum already something about these special tire identification numbers. Mine are E2 02 6553 / 02 08503 – S DOT 3R(8A) 01VX 34th week 2011 . the info, what can be derived from it, but no longer find. In any case: Has the tire fuzzi supplied me with any import goods of my trust or is it normal that I get Michelins from Brazil here in Germany ???? My last sentence Michelin PS3 was with me from Italy. Greetings for the weekend !
