Do the Chinese make safe tires? If they do it is the first decent product they have put out. I hate the thought of someone driving along side my family or friends on Chinese tires.
Another point is most people have no idea they are buying chinese tires. I pointed out some tires the other day an the guy driving the pickup had no idea he had bought imported tires.
Dunlop tires are made in China (now) and quite a few of the former American brands...
Chinese quality is all over the map. Some of their plants are world class. Others are definitely not.
I have owned some Chinese made Kumho (Korean parent company) tires that are as good as anything on the market IMHO.
There are Chinese made "no name" brands that are not very good.
