Wanli Motorhome Tires

I'll bet that most people on this forum would chose Michelin tires IF someone else was paying for them. :B

There certainly is, but it never ceases to fascinate me with all these threads and with some that will swear by one particular brand as being the only one safe to ride on and all the others, sure to kill everyone on board.
There is one particular brand that seems to get the most attention along these lines and their marketing technics, must cost them a fortune and one that must be recouped from sales.

Some good info in this thread

Check out the FMCA web site and see if they still have deals on tires for members. I got 6 22.5 tires for $2400 thru FMCA.

Wanli's are run on a lot of trucks. I've bought 19.5's for my old motorhome. They ran smooth and lasted as good as Michelin's. I'm also ran Samson's and they were good too.

I’d like to see anything close to evidence to back up a statement like that.


All you need to do is read the various threads on this, and other, forums about ‘bad’ tires to see that there’s very rarely a mention of off-shore tires.

Further, some of the more popular brands like Double Coin and Samson amongst others have proven to be very high quality in commercial truck service.

Why would one need evidence to back up a personal opinion? I also will not buy foreign made cars Canada excepted as Canada is our 51st state. I have little or no choice for most clothing and shoes but I do as much as possible look for the union label

I have no desire to enrich those providers of goods to my country after they took our money and ran offshore.

You wouldn’t need any evidence to back up a personal opinion. To justify that opinion as factually accurate and the best idea is another story.

I’d personally rather trust my, and my family’s life, to the BEST products, regardless of where they come from.

The problem with blind national protectionism is it, like karma, comes back around and bites you in the butt.

Look at ‘American’ companies and where their money comes from. GM for example, prior to 2008 to exclude skewed bailout bucks, held a +10% share of the auto biz in China, the UK, Russia, Korea, Australia and Argentina. In Canada, Brazil and Mexico it was over 20%, in Argentina and Columbia it was well over 30%.

If the rest of the world thought like that, ‘ours first, theirs never’, GM, previously the biggest corporation in the world, would have been bankrupt decades earlier.

The same can be said of dozens of ‘American’ companies. A recent study showed that the single most universally understood word the world over was “Coke”.

Imagine if the rest of the world had said ‘We’re not going to buy Coke because it’s made by a ‘foreign’ company.’ decades back?

Is anyone running or know anything about Wanli Motorhome Tires (245/70/19.5) I can buy a set of 6 plus the spare for $2200.00 installed. They are made in China but I have not been able to find reviews for Motorhome use.

They're most likely truck tires, which I prefer anyway.
There's only so many ways to make a tire, for DOT approval and for staying out of bit trouble.
These days, I'm a big fan of Hercules and until proven otherwise, I'll go with their availability, durability and cost savings.
Check out their company history that are owned by Cooper.

Because you've implied a non-existent safety issue with foreign made tires in the stating of your opinion. Your real opinion is that you have no desire to enrich those providers of goods to your country after they took our money and ran offshore. That's fine, but don't imply a safety issue where none exists.

Lots of American companies take the money you spend with them and move it offshore. They'll keep doing that until tax laws change. Totally different discussion tho...
