    I have no history with them.

    Yokos, Bridge, Mich or Generic American.

    Sumitomo Rubber Industries is a Japanese company which also owns the Falken brand of tires.

    Currently Sumitomo and Falken commercial truck tires are Made in the U.S.A.

    I know a few O/Ops that are running the Falken brand of tires and they seem happy with them, so running a set of Sumitomo might yield the same results.
