Do You Care About the Nationality of Your Tires?

how about toyos on my toyota
why would it matter where the tires come from
performance comes first
not nationality

My car’s American and so are my tires.

side note to HB: BFG’s aren’t American, they’re French

I play the game to a degree. White letter Firestones on the ‘66 Mustang, but Michelins on the Spirit R/T.

I played that game. Goodyear eagles on the SS. Blah blah. Now its french wheels and hakkelipiita however spelled on a japanese car with american 60s tune up items…it all comes together somehow.altho, back to american, I’d still attempt to keep eagles.

I got Falkens for my Monte, had no clue where they were made.

I’m partial to US brands for most everything, BFG Radial T/As on Green, not sure what tires are on Grumpy. Something cheap I guess, but then I didn’t buy them. My wife’s lifted Liberty has BFG All-Terrain T/A KOs.

My car (Nissan) came with Continentals… I run Toyo street tires, BFG drag radials, and Hoosier slicks… If it is a good tire, that is what I go for. Don’t really care where it’s made, as long as it’s safe and sticky

mickey thompsons all the way

I’m not sure what brand mine are, let alone where they’re from.

They’re labeled Viper TR. That’s all I know.

I went with Firestone Firehawks on my El Camino. I try to match the nationality of tires to the vehicle when shopping for tires on Tirerack. But if the specs and stats of foreign tires beats american as well as price, then nationality doesn’t really matter.
Still can’t beat raised white letters of the Firestone’s though. I don’t think any foreign brand have that offering.

If the tire has good grip in all weather, is safe, and cheap, I don’t care.

As long as they are safe I don’t really care about the nationality of the brand. So no tires from China.
