    I’ve seen top tier Bridgestone M710’s that were Made in Thailand, but have also seen them Made in the U.S.A.

    Most major tire manufacturers have tire plants all over the world, some that are made overseas are distributed worldwide including being imported into the U.S.A.

    I put 8 new rear tires on same time as a friend of mine last year. We work construction. I put all new goodyears on, and barely any wear at all. Still look new. Friend bragged to me how cheap he got his chinese tires for when i spent over 3k. Well all his tires have no tread left. and hes shopping for new tires now. So where was the savings??
