	Cheap. Well, here we pay a 60% tariff on all imported goods,
20% state tax on that, 50% for the reseller and salaries are much
lower than the US, so it's relative. A month's minimum salary will buy
you 6-8 tires.

	During the military dictatorship there was a 200% tariff on
just about any import, except Scotch whiskey - the economy minister
was an alcoholic(Simonsen)

	The Pirelli tires cost about double, and are made by "Zhongce
Rubber Group Co. LTD. ,  China". No idea who they are. Pirelli used to
have several factories in Brazil, but the last real ones closed after
the 2015 coup...

	The Sao Paulo/Campinas "factories" just package imported
tires...

	I don't need "excellent" tires. If one blows out the sidewall,
I can push the bike home...
