What's the difference?
 

I was on tire rack doing some comparisons on possible replacements for the stock pirelli scorpions when I found something interesting. There are two scorpion atr's for sale.

One is made in brazil

the other in mexico http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....TRV3&tab=Specs

The mexican tires are $15 dollars cheaper than the brazilian ones and they're 7 pounds lighter per tire but near as I can tell from the specs provided on tire rack they are identical. Any one know what the difference between the two is?

Not trying to give you a hard time, but your links are broken in BOTH threads you have posted here, crossposting is frowned upon here. The reason they are broken is you probably tried to copy and paste them from yet another thread you have posted somewhere else. You can't just drag and copy, you have to right click to copy.

I doubt there is any difference between the MX or the BR tires. The price difference is listed as "SPECIAL" so for reasons that Tire Rack has, the black wall tire is on sale. Other than the white letters or black wall difference, I would think it is more likely to be an entry error on the weight.

You can have the "same" tire but in fact they could be different. The tread pattern may look the same but the compound may be different. When OEMs go to the tire manufacturers they give them a set of specs they want ie tread wear, performance, cost etc. The tire manufacturers produce a tire that meets their requirements.
