WOW!! I guess trying to support your country is now a bad thing??? Yes, we all should look to buy American when available. You are supporting the Country you live in, doesn't that make sense???

I do agree with buying the better product but I personally look for the MADE IN USA sticker regardless of what I am shopping for.

USA Co's are forced to have their products made overseas in order to compete. Still buying from a USA Co keeps the money here even if they outsource the mfg'ing.

Buy whatever you want but the job you save may be your own!!

At least alot of the money stays here,store that sold them,warehouse,trucking company's that haul them.That's worth something for American jobs.

The point is that almost NO tires are made in the USA... and most companies that people THINK at USA are actually held, in all or part, by foreign companies.

So is it better that I buy a Silverado made in Mexico or an Accord made in Arkansas?

Buying your tires for an AMERICAN dealer probably helps more than what tire you're buying.

I try to buy USA for my car, but with some items, like tires it's just nearly pointless (and nearly impossible).

Also, the argument that a foreign tire is "junk" just because it's "foreign" is ignorant.

Ok, I'm off my soapbox..

I'm calling Cooper tires in the morning to see if they make a 335/30/18 tires..

really? there the only mfg that make that size? i dont think so !
try here http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...t=All&x=70&y=8

dont get too upset i'm just saying nice wheels deserve good tires

For the record, only one of those companies are American (Goodyear) and there's zero reason to assume that tire is made in the USA since most of thier tires are made overseas.

Actually you "get some good tires" which implies that the Nittos are not "good".. which I guess means you said they are "bad" :shrug:

Then you told us to buy AMERICAN tires and listed a bunch of companies that aren't even American owned.

Might want to try that Google deal next time.
