Ja, I went and bought the Yellow Sea tires. They are mounted, but I have not run them yet.
With shipping from Seattle to San Francisco area they cost $1380 total.
I did research the firm in China. They make alot of types, and several are sold here.
Came with flaps and tubes already installed.
The tubes are thoughtfully made, with a metal shield at the stem base to prevent friction, and the stem is metal, and long--with a double bend in it to skirt around brake drums etc.
Put them on the combat wheels in the driveway with the 'yellow Sea' lettering facing in--the other side is mostly blank.
Gotta say, nice tires.
If I had crazy money I'd buy Michelins, of course. They would have to be new, tho. Those old ones are a little too dicey for me.
All the experts say 6 years max on radial lifetime.
