I advise buying! This rubber's handling is excellent, it behaves at a five-star level on wet pavement, and it also performs admirably on dry pavement. You hardly detect the joints on the bridges. Purchase was worthwhile and not disappointing! Two months after using this tire, I've already managed to drive my right wheel quickly into a concrete pit, and the rubber has held up! Super! No harm! The tires have me very pleased! Made in Germany is stated on the bottle.
