Things change... not much more than five years after Harry Truman nuked the life out of the Japanese war machine, our troops were being shot at by the Red Chinese "People's Liberation" Army in Korea, helping the young Kim communist dictatorship maintain control in the north half of the peninsula.

Germany was our enemy too, but Mercedes, VWsand BMWs are popular!

no doubt China can build some crap, doesn't mean they're not capable of quality though.....in two years all KTM parallel twins will come from China.....if they can produce the Duke im sure they can produce a reasonable offroad tire.

Things sure do change! Russia used to be our enemy, and now our commander in chief takes his orders from president of Russia!

I dont think anybody dislikes stuff from China as bad as me. In this case I was tricked to be honest as I figured they where made in Mexico. Do you guys remember the Exploding China trailer tires. In this case all here spoke positive of this brand. If my buddy could not blow them out in 4 years he got good ones. Don't see how someone living in mid America could Judge a tire in Baja. HAAAA Old news they rode good on pavement and the curves . The dirt roads in San Vicente worse the baja 500. The china tires passed that test will try to do hill climb and nasty road on the weekend. So far liking the lifted truck I think with tires its 6in up over stock.

I was way too hard on Chinese products and for that I apologize.....I still have trouble with people getting orgasmic over buying tires....I mean really...They are round and black and hold your truck up...its nice when they don't break or go flat....

Made in China tires.
Last year when I bought a new trailer my research from many articles on the web indicated that no trailer tires (ST code) were made in the USA. All came from China. If you want a better or more durable tire buy an LT tire. Use a LT tire on a tire don't forget Another interesting feature is trailer tires have less tread depth to keep temperatures down and trailers to downgrade the load because the stress on a trailer tire is about 20% higher than a regular vehicle. Because of trailer sway.

Tires are one of the most important parts of a truck. Its your life if the tire stays on the rim just so happens. I'm a off road nut 4x4s pre runners dirt bikes even silly ATVs, As far as Chuckie running around off road more then me. Not a chance. I ride every week last Wr450 48,00 dirt miles. We ride all day, Same day off road over to Coyote Cals for dinner and a margarita. Then off road back to house. 3 4x4s Toy pre runner 20 dirt bikes one 700atv. So Chuckie you lose on that one ask anyone on this site that rides with me. How important are tires on our bikes and trucks the difference not making the trail pushing or towing to get up. So sorry if you don't like it. Paul correct never buy trailer tires only LT truck tires. To say tires are junk when you don't have them or in baja to test . Just plain useless talk. I do agree with you on Chinaman Junk as I feel its at 80% . I can name you all the things I have bought that are china junk . It would take 6 months to write I can name you only 10 things Chinaman made that are good, Leave to good or bad on the tires to me. As I have then you don't. Easy Chucky If you don't like gear heads getting goofy about tires why read the post.

I never said I don't like gearheads.. This is not a contest....You can be the king if you want...But please don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about....

Special tires for special people, eh?
I guess you blockheads buy square tires, and the rest of us (especially “mid americans”) buy the round ones :lol:
