If they are OE, then the only valid review is going to be from folks who got this tire on their Spark from the factory. That's because, in spite of sharing the name with other tires, this one will be unique to GM supplied tires.

Also, if they are off a 2014, then they might be 8 years old, and that means they don't have a lot of life left in them until the rubber has degraded to the point where the tire needs to be removed.

Check the date code on the tire!
I'm guessing they are OE as I've never bothered to check date codes for any tires I've bought that were used .

It shows (dot PJ8X JT1R 1212)

So... they are 10yrs old at this point, I'm going to be setting up return shipment here in a moment.
