Hi, I am writing to report a tire brand, sold by walmart that could be illegal for sale in the U.S. the dot information is completely missing on these tires. Therefore, all the claims made in utqg specs could be false and/or do not meet us standards. These are tires sold on walmart.com and bought and used by many people. I recently examined a pair of these tires while I was picking up an order from walmart. These tires made a rattling sound when bounced on the floor. When we tested other tire brands from other manufacturers, they did not make the rattling sound. It sounded as if the steel belts are loose under the tread. Only a fatal crash due to tread separation might reveal this fault, which might be too late a lesson to learn for someone. I am not sure if all tire sizes or tire types have missing dot information. As I am not an expert in tires, I could be wrong about defective steel belts too (the rattling sound), but, I want to bring my observations to the attention of experts. It's worth looking in to these tires to make sure that us customers are not been sold unsafe tires. If this could prevent an avoidable accident, it's worth the effort. I contacted walmart and brought this to their attention. From their email response, it seems that they are ignoring the issue. The tire in question is, brand: Crosswind HP010 manufacturer: Linglong made in: Thailand size: 185/65R14 walmart product page: Https://www.walmart.com/ip/crosswind-HP010-185-65R14-86H-tire/765720344 thank you ps: I ended up returning the tires
