Didn't catch that part - still a cool looking tire; but yes, I'd much rather prefer something not made in China on my wheels.

Guys there are SOOOO many things made in china, including parts of the stock jeep undoubtedly. I'm all for "economic partiotism", but i draw the line at either skipping out on something i can't get otherwise, and at getting ripped off by a N.A. Vendor who sells shit at a premium because of the flag on the box... (Sorry just pissed at my dubious 160$ warrior products jack hood mount).

I'll choose our stuff over theirs when it exists, and when its fair-priced.

Perty tire, but i bet it doesn't rock a snowflake icon on the side... Needs to be winter-dedicated for softer rubber and such.
