I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth.

They're round. Contain a whole lot of air.

That's what I mean. Are they made in the USA? Who knows anything about them? |

I have learned my lesson about buying off brand tires.
I put goodyears on the wife's SUV. I put firestones on my truck.
No experience with your brand Danny, but I would stay away from off brands. Saving a couple of bucks costs you in the long run, IMO. |

| Looks like they are made in the US but owned by Yokohama. Guess I'll keep looking. Maybe Goodyear or Goodrich. |

No more Firestones for me. Me and the Firestone company have parted ways. Looking at Goodyear or Goodrich now. Used to love Michelin, but I'm not sending the French any of my money either. |

F150 Sport pickup. Looking for US tires though. This truck only drives about 2000 miles a year, so tires usually get changed from age rather than wear, but I still want my money supporting US jobs. |

| I go with Perellis on my car. I had Starfires, which were replaced by Mastercraft by Cooper, and I thought they were nothing bit garbage. I have Khumos on my truck. |

| My son in law bought some Yokohama at's tires for his truck. They lasted two years. I bought BF at's four years before he bought his. Mine are still good, noisy on the road now , but they still can get me thru the mud and snow. |

Not true.
They always have air in them, it's just not pressurized.....
Sorry about that, I just had to. |

There's a Yokohoma Plant in Salem Va about 8 miles from where I live.
I have General Tires on my wife's Grand Cherokee, they're owned by continental which is an American owned company. Very pleased with my general Grabber AT2s, great price through Wally World
have always had great experience with BFGs too, great tires, but pricey |

I would NOT recomend Mastercraft tires.
We used to put them on our farm trucks. Tread separates from the tire at about 50% wear. |

| I put a set of Yokohamas on my wifes Honda and they are made in USA.Michelins are made here in upstate SC and it is one of the best companys to work for around.They pay well above the average wage for this area take good care of their employees.I don't work for Michelin,but do plenty of contract work at their plants. |
