I needed 2 (205/75 R15 ST) on my flat single axle trailer that I use to take my Cub to shows , it appears (from all of my sources) all of the major tire manufactures are having their trailer tires made in CHINA ! Do we want to trust our Cubs to China made tires ? Be very careful to also check the manufacturing date on the side of every tire , including the China ones ! Lee
I deal in tires everyday and I'm not sure if you can find a trailer tire made here anymore.
Some of them may say Turnpike USA and such on the side but their not made here. Just like the front tractor tires that say American Farmer, their not made here either...
I've noticed most of the China tractor tires now have where it's made stamped on the bead, once it's aired up you can't see it anymore....
I hate to say it but I'm betting 75% or more of our tires and tubes at the shop are not made here...
It's getting worse now as we're having problems finding tires made here for our stock. The demand is here but there's no supply at the wearhouses.
