Your assumption is that Maxxis and Goodyear tires are not made in China. Not true. Maxxis tires are manufactured in Taiwan, which may not be mainland China but is China nonetheless. Goodyear manufactures tires all over the world, including China. Just because the name sounds American doesn't mean the product is.
In addition, just because it is made in China doesn't mean it is junk. I run Kenda tires on my motorscooter, made in Taiwan. Kenda is a highly respected name in performance motorcycle, bicycle and motorscooter tires.
