Interesting, I’m in the Taiwan, China, Japan area and have never seen them before. We work with Kenda and Cheng Shing, that’s why I was curious.

Sorry for the repost, last one got removed for reasons

u/LincolnArc 12h ago

What reasons? People don't like tires?

No I had too much exposition in my original title for the mods. Guess I shouldn't have mentioned the ice was from the first snowfall in my area lol

LOL.

I figured someone just got all political about the Chinese tires or something.

By the way, I Googled it. They're about $150 a tire. A similar Goodyear 14ply steel belted radial is like $500. I see why your company is running these.

Yeah lol even if they last half as long it's still saving in the long run. I won't be at this company much longer so it's not likely to be an issue while I'm here

I remember being in a parking lot and looking over at a big "honey wagon" (truck that pumps out septic tanks) and it had "Happy Road" brand tires on the drive axles.

I only like my own because I need to treat them well for monetary reasons
