Car tires?

Question

So supposedely the previous owner of my car put on 2,000 dollar German racing tires. It's a 2007 mustang and I bought it lightly used at a Toyota dealership. My question is, did the Toyota dealership take off the German racing tires and put their stock all-weather tires? The brand of them is Barum. Has anyone ever heard of that brand, or know how I can find out?

Answer 1

is ur mustang a gt or the v6? if its a v6 and someone spent 2000 dollars on tires, they were pretty d**n stupid. ya it would be understandable to have on a gt but a v6 mustang is slow 2,000 tires wont make it any faster...

Answer 2

Barum is a very old tire manufacturer, they are from the Czech Republic, they make lots of tires for Continental. I doubt the Toyota dealer would take the trouble to put something as odd as Barums on the car.

Answer 3

If you have internet service, try Yahoo or Google with the name brand.

Answer 4

Go to the link below and pick exactly the tire and size you have to see the pricing I found. There is also a history of the company, which is not in Germany.

Answer 5

#1 rule - never trust anything a used car sales man say.  Do all your research.  The only thing to talk about is the price.

Good Luck...
