WE DON"T LIKE IT
Oh the humanity, we can't use those Goodyear made in USA tires because
"Since that time, one company has now begun
to produce an ST tire domestically; however, they do not currently produce a complete
lineup of the various sizes used by the RV industry."
Evidently they can't use them even on their products that take the sizes available for some reason LOL? And what about the wheels?
Why of course they don't like it. When you build for maximum profit and minimum cost, stands to reason that you use the cheapest imported components and any increase in price causes much consternation among those who buy cheap and sell steep.
Don't be concerned, the OEM's will pass that cost right along to keep their profit margins strong and the consumers will pay the difference because they 'gotta have it'. In reality, the (consumers) don't, but it's all about being one up on the neighbors and the 'me too' society we live in.
