Hankook Tires?

That's the one with the diamonds on the sidewall. Looking at the company profile I suspect manufacturing is done in Korea since there is no mention of stateside manufacturing facilities but "R&D" in Korea.

The rubber compound on the tires on display looked like dark graphite instead of pure black and the tread blocks were drilled for studs (per the salesman).

I've seen some very low prices- like $150 to $170 each for 315/70/R17 online for these.
