So according to your research wouldn't it be incorrect to say "China Bombs" when "Shandong Bombs" would be more accurate?


But that just doesn't have the same ring to it. So lets just spread the misinformation. Is that the way to help fellow RV owners?


Never been to China and do not work for or have any financial interest in tires made in China and never designed any tire made in China, but people will still accuse me of just being a shill for China.


maybe I need to stay off this forum for a while.
