While this may be true, it is "easier said than done". Every RV that is manufactured most likely comes equipped with tires made in China. I'm not sure about the percentage of trucks and cars that are similarly equipped but I would guess that many of them are also riding on Chinese tires.
It seems that the only recourse is, upon delivery, to swap them out for some non-Chinese ones if the consumer is worried about their safety. Finding tires made elsewhere can also be problematic leaving the consumer in a bit of a quandary.
Now we not only have suspect Chinese tires but also "fake" or counterfeit Chinese tires to worry about.
