For me I have a real hard time purchasing Chinese manufactured products when there are great American products that employees American workers.
I totally agree with you on this issue. I try to buy American made whenever possible. It just seems so difficult to find American made in so many products, and it gets harder all the time. After I retired I was hired back by the city to work on a ARRA construction project. I saw first hand how jobs come back when we demand American made. The fact is we don't and won't.
I totally agree, BUT lets take the Goodyear G614's for an example , just about TWICE the cost of the Sailun S637's. Arguably the Sailun's are a better tire then the G614's . They certainly have a better track record then the Goodyears from the get go. If it makes sense to spend twice , then by all means do so, but its also my pocketbook here that suffers also . There is a sad truth to it all.
Same applies for the Sailun Terramax as far as cost, although they are not as well known as the S637's ,but have to believe the same quality.
If its any consolation, Sailun is apparently opening two plants here in the US. Whether the cost will remain the same is doubtful, just the cost of labor will dictate.
