Consumer Reports uncovers counterfeit tires case
Consumer Reports, the nation’s largest independent consumer publication, annually buys tires at random to test and rate for its readers.
But last year, strictly at random, Consumer Reports uncovered a flagrant case of tire counterfeiting, the publication’s tire program manager told attendees of the 31st annual Clemson University Global Tire Industry Conference. “We didn’t say, “Let’s go out and find some counterfeit tires,’ “ Eugene Peterson said in his presentation at the conference, held April 15-17 at Hilton Head, S.C. “We said, “Let’s test some tires,’ and one of those tires just happened to be counterfeit.”
