Am I the only one?
Am I the only one that has purchased those evil Chinese tires? Just put a set of Samson tires on my coach. In the 10 miles back from the dealer, I can tell you that they ride better than the Goodyear...

The sad reality is today we live in a Global Economy, and it's a love/hate relationship. I love the lower prices the import stuff offers, I hate the fact we don't build much here any more.

The days of everything from China being junk are also over. It's not that they have better workers or better QC, it's the fact that they have the newest, latest, and greatest equipment.
Part of my real job is selling belts. At one recent customer training session we did the manufacturer said currently their highest quality belts were coming out of the China plant - because they had the most modern equipment. They were in the process of redoing one of their US plants, and when that one was finished that plant would be producing the best belts.
Like it or not - it is what it is. And $2500 for (6) new 295/80/22.5's is certainly worth a look.
