Yep, why prolong it. Might as well buy Chinese tires, cause we will end up working for them at pennies a hour the way things are going. If we're not manufacturing goods no one will have any money to spend on RVs anyway! Myself, I was very happy spending a few more bucks per tire to ride on a Made In the USA tire. I may have kept another fellow American Citizen working for another day!
A few more bucks!!? Maybe its just a few more bucks to someone on a six figure a year income. But for me living on for the most part disability compensation from the VA, it not just a few more bucks. When I can save $200 to $300 per tire by buying Hankooks instead of Michelins or any other tire made in this country I'm going to do it. Its my opinion that the unions in this country have over stayed their welcome. They were useful many years ago but now their greed has force manufacturers to either raise their prices or move their plants overseas. A lot of Americans got greedy and now we are all suffering for it.
