If you’ve ever dealt with the crappy rubber hoses and rubber stuff you get at Harbor Freight that falls apart and cracks in no time than you can get an idea of what the majority of chinese tires will do.
Since china doesn’t follow the same rules as the rest of the world You’d think they would be able to still use the chemicals the US manufacturers can’t anymore because of EPA bans. The chemicals that actually made a tire last and not crack from heat and sunlight. But it seems that they are still 90 years behind in tire tech. Lol!
Foreign tires???

These are Toyo's with over 250,000 miles on them and still have a lot of life left in them back in the 90s they were built in the USA now built in Japan but are still a reliable tireBadmon Thanks this. -

@Final Drive. Do those say made in Japan on them? Toyo has a plant in southern US. Opened up around 10 years ago. I’m not sure if heavy truck tires or made there but all of the P and LT are. Their Nitto brands are built there too. Before the plant here existed we were getting them dropped on us in 40 ft shipping boxes straight from Japan through the LA ports.
If you want give me the first 2 digits of the dot for the build plant. Most are 7E or 73.Final Drive Thanks this. -
