    There was an issue with some Goodyear Eagle F1s being made in China rather than Germany. The prices were a world of difference but so were the performance! The place of manufacture should be stamped on the tyre - might be worthwhile to check it out.

    mine say thailand but i'm not sure thats cause for alarm because this quote is from goodyear's website:

    but the main reason i know they're real is that they stick so well, definitely better than the conti CS2's that i just switched from (and thats also taking into account how crap contis get when they're worn down). benough also got pirelli's from them for a similarly cheap price and they're also the real deal.
