What the sidewall says

Regulatory wording is quoted here exactly as it is moulded. We do not paraphrase it, we do not soften it to “track focused”, and we do not set it small enough to miss.

Two lines, both moulded

Both appear on every VERTEX, on both sides of the tire, in both sizes.

These tires are DOT marked. DOT marking records that a tire was manufactured to a recognised standard and assigns it a plant and batch code. It is not a statement that the tire is intended for road use, and on this product it explicitly is not.
