Made in Portugal. They are on Mercedes CLK 200 40 225/45/17, at the moment they have traveled 7.000 km. Protector is like new. Before this rubber, there were Michelins, Nokians, but not one of them can be compared with Continental. This is the best tire in my experience. For all the time I caught one self-tapping screw. No hernias and breakdowns, when I bought I doubted the sidewall, it was painfully soft. I recommend to everyone. I'll probably pick up the next one again.
