Freestar was the replacement for the Mission brand. They look identical except for the name on the sidewall.

The Freestars did however make it to the end of tread life without separating....

Identical right down to the tread separation and sidewall bubbles

LOL Figures!

Sure - if you track down the Chinese mfgr (and you can with a bit of effort) - you can find the real mfgr of each.

Maybe the same, maybe not - but why bother . . .
just another Chinese ST tire!.

BTW - If you want to contact a/the Chinese mfgr, *you* too can have tires branded with whatever name *you* wish, eg: "Cooter High Milers"..

They will be happy to ship a few containers full - then *you* can be a tire distributor on a "Mission" (pun!).

When/if the tires get a bad rep - just re-contact the Chinese mfgr and call your next shipment - "Devo Camper Specials" and start again!.

And - they will meet ST tire specs.
