I remember from being here in years past how vitriolic and closed minded these tire threads could be. So I tread in to this one gingerly...
Where a tire is made has little or nothing to do with it's quality.
Tire manufacturers design their tires to US and international standards and set the manufacturing/quality standards for any given tire line.
So if Michelin makes their tire in Indonesia it is still a Michelin made to the same specs with the SAME MACHINERY as if it were made in France or the US and to the same US/European/international specifications and quality standards.
I had a set of Goodyears on my trailer when I bought it (Used)they were two years old at the time. I put almost 35 THOUSAND miles on them with two trips to Alaska included. During all that time I had one flat caused by running over a huge piece of metal.
My current set is a no name brand that have done well but will not last as long as the Goodyears.
My preference is to buy a well known name brand.
Whether your tires were made in Boston or Beijing it doesnt matter. What matters is HOW they were DESIGNED and to what specifications.
