tires made in where
i ordered a pair of 275/35/20 Hankook V12 from a korean shop. He told me that the tires could be from America or China.. he just sells tires that he orders from somewhere else. Could my tires be made in China? I'll be mad if it would. He asked $150 for one tire and $320 for 2 tires and installation. I'm currently running 245/35/20 Hankook V12 on the front.

With each one of your threads, my impression of you sinks lower and lower. And I would question any shop that charges $20 to mount and balance 2 tires.

I don't think i want any Chinese stuff on my car. Is there a way to figure out where it's made from?

Most major tire companies have manufacturing plants in China now. It's just cheaper for them to make the tires.

I was waiting for that. I was explaining why the OP might care. there was not an american car that met my needs when I was shopping. I buy american, within reason, as often as possible.

lead content is the chemical balance that keeps your tires from randomly imploding
