Unpopular opinion but some should consider cutting Chinese manufacturing some slack as this is an old mentality. My Pilot Sport 5's are phenomenal. I also recently read Canadian Blizzak stock are being made there but I haven't seen proof of this myself.
Others here have mentioned it's all about the quality control these days, not the country of origin. I personally agree.
out of curiosity, why assume? does it not have a "made in xx" on the sidewall?
