Performance and Nashbar contract their tires out to the big Taiwanese
tire houses like everybody else. I've had no worse quality experience
from them for basic all round tires--no doubt there can be a bad batch
from any one from time to time. I've had name brand tires from WTB and
Continental that had faulty rubber compound that rendered them
unusable, unless you planned on fixing multiple flats per day. Luck of
the draw.
