Tom,

During my visit to Shelby's shop in April they had already started production and distribution in the US. In fact the same "type" tires on my car were made with the new molds here in the US and I purchased them from Shelby in November '02. The problem with the Chile tires is that the quality control was so poor that tires often were up to 4 oz. out of spec. This problem, I was told, has now been addressed since moving production back to the States. What you don't want are the Chile version.

This is all directly from Shelby - honest! I still have original US spec tires for $1,595 though! The profit I guarantee will go towards one of those georgous Kirkham's.
