I talked to a Michelin Rep, on the phone last week and he told me if the U.S. is short on tires (back order) then tires are sent down from Canada and he also mentioned to me that Michelin has a big warehouse in Reno, Nevada to serve the Western U.S.. No Michelin tires are imported into the U.S. according to what the Michelin Rep. told me. I believe this is thru an agreement with labor unions.
Not that it matters to me, but it is stamped right on my Michelins "Made in Spain". I like them anyway much better than the Goodyears. They have a much softer ride. I am assuming that is from the higher load rating, and therefore lower psi needed.
