Chinese RV tires... holding up!
Got a new RV with factory installed Made in China tires with unknown brand. I figure I'll have it replaced after a year. But to my pleasant surprise, after a thousand miles and 5 months in deep ...

Actually we have had some excellent P and LT tires made in china brands for years now.
Even when all ST tires were made in the USA they were know as ST maypops for good reason especially on road trailers. Some USA ST mfg dropped them altogether or moved ST operations over to the Asian rim countries and became know as china maypops...for the same reasons.
The old ST made better tires utility type trailer that sit a lot or didn't see lots of all day highway runs at max speeds or lawn service trailers that gets pulled around town.
Agree ST tires like the Carlisle HD and the USA made Endurance.... or ST tires first used on commercial trailers like the Providers that were one of the first ST tires to have a higher rated speed rating that started showing up on regional service trailers in the '10 or '11 era.
And of course just about all good commercial grade 16" ST load G tires like the Sailun S637 all steel ply carcass made for service trailers are made in China. This includes several other commercial grade all steel 16"/17.5" ST load G and H tires.
