And Nittos are good tires. I run them on almost all of my personal vehicles. Just because a tire is made in Japan, does not mean its crap, its a very high quality tire, and I stand behind all of our customers who have, and are running Nitto. To each their own, but clearly you've never run Nitto tires, and can not speak from experience. They perform... period. So lets agree do disagree, and leave it at that, I think this conversation is not adding anything constructive to the thread.

Agreed..and well said Jon.

try before you bash
 

whoa why bashing such a good tire company???? i personal am not a fan of mst tires you would like such as good year,dunlop,bf goodrich just cause the wear patteren i have seem from them on different vechiles i have to align and so but before you start bashing a tire compan try them first!!! oh by the way not all honda are made in japan and there right your shoes pobably did not come from the usa along with your tv and computer.

you should read the thread first, i didnt bash nitto i called them foreign thats all.i like the rims too.im sure if iran/north korea made good tires youd put them on your car, but not me sorry.

It's a global world in which we live in...
 

Again...please post up pictures of the tires you've selected for your rides,I'm just dying to see this.:unibrow:

wondering still
 

i was wondering do you buy gas for your car? i mean it is foreign oil that is brought over so you might wanna go ford and do bio diesel but make sure that truck is 100 % american cause i know ford does not have every thing made in the usa. guess you just might wanna go hide in your bomb shelter due to most products are not made in the usa anymore.

please post your tires for us!!!

hey guys, youre missing the fact that he lives in a cave (check the profile). if i lived in one, i wouldnt get out very often. it would be nice storage for the chevelle, except for all the bat crap that would get on it.

btw, if its just the fact that theyre not made in the US, youre way behind the curve. the aluminum that your wheels are made out of is most likely not mined in the US. get over it and post your pics. also, i checked out the other mfg's of the size i needed and they were all twice as much. if i thought i was getting twice the quality, i would do it in a heartbeat. i have had no expense spared on this project, but i just dont see the pt.

Michelin- Made in Mexico
Pirelli- Made in Italy
Nitto- Made in Japan

Your argument just lost all its relevance.

Most tire manufacturers make a great tire. I personally choose a tire by the size, tread wear and lastly pattern. Both the NT01 from Nitto and the Pilot Cup are great street/track tires. To say one is undeserving because it was not made in America is just plain stupid, when none of the brands you mentioned were made here either.

Why do people have to be so ignorant of facts?

What tires are actually MADE in the USA? I know for a fact the Pirellies are made all over the world. I also know that most Goodyear tires are made overseas, including CHINA.

I think Cooper tires are made in the USA still... not many others though. So, this whole "don't put foreign tires on your car!" deal is pretty lame and not well thought out.

And what makes you think a Nitto or Toyo tire is any lower quality than a Goodyear tire? Is the Goodyear tire better if it was made in China?

It's logical fallicy to assume that because the company is American held that the tires are American made.
