I think most (all?) trailer tires are made overseas. I believe Maxxis are made in Thailand and Goodyear (RV) tires are back in China as far as I remember. They sent them to China, brought them back and sent them back again....if memory serves me correctly. The "china bombs" come primarily from the plants in the Shandong province. Those are the plants used to produce Trailer Kings and all of the other brands made by the parent company. From my personal experience, and many others posted on this forum and others, they make an inferior product. Most folks have had good luck with the Carlisle HD and Maxxis tires from what I've read.
