I did imply some Chinese tires MAY be suspect. But you as many others on this board believe all Chinese tires regardless of the AMERICAN COMPANY NAME on the sidewall are junk or well be junk.
There are somethings are this old boy forum that will never change...
You might want to quote me on that one because I don't believe I ever said that; but who knows?
Anyway, you do bring up a good point. Can you think of one product that has been made in China that was better than ours? Because I sure can't. I don't know of a single person that say's: "Man I wish I could get ahold of some Chinese made tools because those Starrett's tools made in the USA are junk."
Tools? Nope. I'm thinking of Craftsman. 50's, 60's, 70's, made in the USA and good tools. Made in China now days and junk.
Toys? Nope, least you want lead paint on your toys.
Motorcycles? Nope, Honda 50's were made like a Swiss watch when made 40 years ago in Japan. Todays Honda 50 knockoffs are junk and made in China.
I can go on and on but I can't think of a single thing that when we shipped the job over to China to do the product got better.
So no, if history is my teacher, I don't think tires will fair any better.
