    It's sad that we still have tariff's hurting consumers in this day and age.

    I believe Bridgestone is also based out of China, but I am certainly not 100% sure on that one.

    thought it was only on cheap China-man tires not quality products.

    I read in the WSJ yesterday that Goodyear and Firestone also have plants in China. Sounds like the labor unions are getting a little payback for the election.

    It may be the only way they can sell in China. I know they made the car co's. build cars and transfer tech. in China before they would let them sell in China.

    Bridgestone is based in Japan but they may make some tires in China

    I think it's because of the lead paint. Don't chew on your Hankooks.
