Does anyone have a history with Mexico made tires?

I find it interesting that no one has addressed the original question.

Those of us who have been in the manufacturing end of things know that the physical location of the manufacturing facility has very little to do with the quality coming out of the place - and it has a lot to do with who is running the joint and what sort of controls they have put in place. Systems like ISO9000 and TS16949 are internationally recognized quality systems that work to insure that not only is the plant producing quality products, but that it will continue to do so and improve.

So since no one has voiced any negatives, I take it that there is no recognition of problems with tires made in Mexico.

Further, I would say that the name on the sidewall of the tire is much more of an indicator.

You know that I'm in agreement with you on this facet of the question. But I'm still trying to figure out who the OP is asking about and let that get ahead of me...When I mentioned the ISO and TSO standards that the Sailun Tire manufacturer has obtained, I still got shot down by some as to "it's still a China made tire"..after while, one will give up after giving links to and explaining ISO and TS standards and what it takes to obtain, as my manufacturing plant has done, along with Q1 from Ford, (which is also very hard for a manufacturer to attain....and keep).

Also agree that manufacturer name on sidewall should have some impact on credentials or reputation, though, depending on one's experience with a particular "name brand", could still have a bad impression of them even with credentials to back their manufacturing process, quality being at the top of the list. (only after safety in the plant:)

My company, as some may know is Continental Automotive, not only do we manufacture brake calipers, ABS, ESC and brake by wire along with a multitude of other things, as stated in thread above, we also manufacture General and Continental tires, and I do know what quality standards and guidelines are in place for these manufacturers, no matter what country they are located in..
