Like BF Goodrich, Firestone, Michelin, and so on. I do think for something as important to your safety as tires it is better to stick with factories that are here. Korea has not really hot places either. If Korean tire makers build them here I have no problems with them. People like Goodyear and Michelin test their tires in desert heat.
I have bought several Hondas. My only regret is that I foolishly sold my 2004 S2000 a couple years back. A wonderful sports car.
One might also wonder and be concerned with what testing takes place with any of them before the DOT stamp goes on. I've never heard where US made tires, far exceed the min requirements for DOT approval or where the ones that are made overseas are exempt from these requirements and/or inspections.
