Ordered new tires for my goose. Told the voice that I want USA.
Voice told me that Carlisle has USA tires.
"All of them?"
Well, he couldn't answer that for sure.
I ordered up the tires. (Radial Trail) I didn't think to look at them when I picked them up, but when I went to put them on the trailer - I see "made in china" printed really small on them.
So I called Carlisle and asked about their tires, and that voice told me that the only trailer tire that they had that was Yank was the "USA Trail". (of course) However - that is bias.
The voice also told me that as far as she knew - no-one offered a radial trailer tire from the US.
I'm OK with that....
So I looked at the USA Trail page, and they only go to 15's.
I need 3500# single 16's @ 80#, and they don't go there.
I was all ready to hop back in the truck, but decided that I should research a bit more first.
OK - so does anyone here know who makes such a tire in the US?
Bias is OK as I am biased as well.
This BS just makes me want to
To add insult to injury, this is the town that has the Titan Tire facility! (was General Tire)

I was a Kraut 150 yrs ago, I'm a bloody Yank right now, but I doubt that I'll ever be a Chinc.
I want Yank products!
