Chinese Tires.....again!
Interesting reading from Consumer Reports
Forum Discussion
I don't know what the Consumer Report article said but I have China tires on my bumper pull tandem dump trailer. I haul some pretty heavy stuff (up to 3 ton) at highway speeds and never had any problems. I do watch and check air pressure etc.
Had a blowout on my F250 PU. Couldn't get GS ERS on the phone. Called the local tire dealer in Cody. They sent an employee out to change my tire for free. Yup, no charge. (I'm a local) I had 55,000 miles on the Goodyear Wranglers and they were almost bald. I went in and had them install some LT 275/65R20 Hankook Dynapro ATM 10 range E tires. Made in Korea. They have had very good reports on the tires, especially in off road and in mud and snow conditions. They looked better than some of the American tires I have looked at. Only time and mileage will tell.
BTW: I have had Goodyear and Michelin before. Not happy with either one on Wyoming gravel roads. Rocks were going right through the tread and sidewalls of the Michelins. Threw them away with about 10,000 miles. Too many flats on gravel roads. JMHO
