High performance tires to be built in China??????? What the.....???? :h

That's like saying you have a great 5.7 diesel. :S

Or you have a super fast high performance Yugo. :R

There are already major companies whose names you would recognize that are building products in China for export. These factories export quality product the same as products produced elsewhere by these companies. They follow the EXACT SAME QUALITY CONTROLS already put in place elsewhere in the world.

I know there are those on this forum who would find this hard to believe.

Very true. But read this, it may change your mind.
This is what the experts are seeing and saying.

I did-this is what it said-
"Michelin is very persnickety,” he said. “At the Chinese plant you couldn’t tell if you were in China or in South Carolina. The plant has the same controls, the same machines and the same uniforms on the
workers.”
And this paragraph-
“We have same global quality standards around the world,” said Keith Price, a spokesman for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. “The standards are the same whether we make it in Oklahoma, Germany, Brazil, Indonesia, or China, the product standards are the same.”


Seems to reinforce my post. We are not talking Chinese branded tires, however even some of those are good tires that are run on big rigs, such as Double Coin.
