Hello:
I've been helping a very good friend of mine find a one owner, low mileage. with records 2009+ Honda Element for his vacation home. He and I met in 1st grade - and we're both 65 years old now. Crazy, eh?!
Anyway, we've looked at several Elements over the last couple of months. On every single one of the used car dealership sold Elements we've looked at, if new tires have been installed they are either Indonesian or Chinese made. Used Elements sold by new car dealerships always have new tires made in either the US, Japan, or the EU.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Scott
PS I am a self confessed tire geek. I am very particular about tires just like people are about oil. My 1,000 miles per year E46 BMW garage queen even has a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s on it (they'll rot before I wear those gumballs out). My daily driver E90 BMW has a set of Bridgestone RE-11s, our work horse Element Michelin Primacys, our 25K miles per year Ford Focus Pirelli P-Zeros.
