Nobody is making excuses, they are just stating facts.
People can whine all they want but the fact remains that the TT and 5ver tire market is well over a million a year, plus the cargo trailer market, plus the horse trailer market, plus the farm trailer market not to mention the large and small boat trailers.
..over a million tires in a year is but a drop in the bucket in the tire world.
This from Cooper;
".. approximately 40 million tires Cooper sells annually in the U.S., said Pat Brown, a spokeswoman for Cooper."
One reason most USA tire makers stopped producing or even selling ST tires years back was they had small over all sales in the big picture. They were simply a niche tire with small over all annual sales.
We have dozens of ST tire brands floating around out here so one ST tire maker or supplier can't have very big annual ST tire sales......enter the made in china/mexico/Asian rim countries.
