I have heard opinions that ALL 5th wheel tires are made in China regardless of the brand name on them. Does anyone out there know for a fact ( no guesses or opinions please) if this is true? If there are any brands that are not please tell me what they are. Muchas gracias.
All *ST* tires originate in China (or other countries or other Asian countries).
The "problem" isn't mfg in China - it's the ST specs.
"MainerBob' - take note: GY marathons have been failing for years - which includes Marathons mfg in USA.
You may not have tires mfg in China (the GYs) - but they are still ST-bombs!
GY Marathons in LR-D - are affectionately known as "GY Balloons" - and "Maypops" that..... may pop..:W
Many choose Michelin or BFG *LT* tires for their trailers.
Some folks upgrade 15" wheels (and tires) to 16" to get away from limited choices - although Maxxis seems to do OK.
BTW - Michelin (and BFGs, etc.) are mfg in the USA - as well as numerous other countries including China..;)
