Even some of the very good tires you buy from Michelin, Goodyear, BF Goodrich and many others are probably made in some quantity in China.
China makes many very high quality products, usually "on spec" (to specific material and quality standards) for many of the worlds best name brands.
So just saying "Chinese Made" isnt really relevant.
Stick to the big names In tires (including some of the Asian ones) and you will most likely get a good high quality tire.
Where the Chinese excel is in taking something like tires and manufacturing them with a no-name brand very cheaply and sells them by the container load via AliBaba. These are NOT the tires you want.
