I have to laugh when I read people's comments about staying away from tires made in China. I also went with Maxxis when getting new feet for our smaller toy hauler a few years ago. They lasted the same number of approximate miles as did the higher dollar Goodyear's that were on for a few years. I might also add that the "China bombs" that came on the trailer originally are still running, and in good shape, on our company utility trailer and believe me, they have been abused unmercifully. Keep in mind, according to Forbes, the average factory wage (for men, now) in China is $310 per month. That same factory wage (again, for men) in Thailand is $230 per month. Skill levels probably reflect that wage somewhat. Forbes didn't list the wages for women, and, knowing little about either country, they may not pay them at all.
