My recommendation Bill is to go drive a Ford Explorer overloaded in the Utah desert with Chinese tires and report back.
As someone who was in the industry, you don't have any basis. Go ahead eat some Chinese pet food with melamine and see who can you sue when you get sick. See PPG vs. FYG. lawsuits etc. Why repeat it with tires?
You sure like to argue and ask for facts, but rarely provide them, just more opinions.
Take care
Oh so all the Chinese tires are junk? Show me the links for that. My P4s are MADE in China.
The Explorers rolling over were due to Chinese tires?
The Tariff is being put on the Chinese due to being unsafe?
Your "recommendation" is plain
STUPID. So a Explorer should be overloaded with American tires will be fine?
So its obivious that you are not biased since you WERE in the industry.
What the #&*^$@# does eating Chinese pet food have to do with anything? Windshields?
I've provided more FACTS to this board than you EVER will. Take your biased position on the Chinese go somewhere else.
Plenty of Chinese made tires that are SAFE and provide excellent performance. My P4s today did excellent in 3-4 inches of standing water and there were many other vehicles that were having issues.
Wonder how many of them had American made tires mfg by bitter overpaid employees?
Yeah the Tariff is sure going to make things better. Just like all the "help" for GM and Chrylser.
Lets see how all the "change" works out.
