I have GoodYears on my minivan - 2 new ones, 2 older ones. The 2 older ones were made in MX, the 2 new ones in China. Thus far (1 year) I've noticed no difference.
I use cheap Chinese tires on the trailer (one failure, very obviously caused by the piece of metal embedded in the tire), but not my vehicles.
You are indeed a gambling man. I've tried to use Goodyears twice on my Lexus, and their ultra high performance tires were good for 15K miles and quickly deteriorated.
I'm sorry, but I just don't choose to do business with a company closing major factories in Union City, TN and Gadsden, AL in order to send jobs to Chinese factories putting out poor quality tires. The Goodyear Marathon tires are no better than any other Chinese tires on RV's. No thank you.
My new fifth wheel's tires have been replaced with Bridgestone Duravis R250's for a reason.
