My first question when I buy something is "Is this made in the USA?" If we should ever get into a position similar to WWII it took weeks to change our auto factories over to war production. Do you think China or any other country will do that for us? Every dollar we spend on foreign products is another dollar they can use to buy up our land, companies, etc. We are giving our country away to the foreign countries and even doing it with a smile. We have all kinds of jobs available in service here in this country but it is the manufacturing jobs that produce something that are required to keep an economy goikng. While I am on my Economics soapbox remember "Corporations do not pay taxes". When a corporation gets assessed with a tax the product goes up in price with the tax added as a cost of doing business. Guess who pays the tax then.

The previous owner put 8- brandy new 16" Hankook's on the moho when I bought it. Had never heard of them either. Over 3k miles on them now and no complaints.

Everything I see here with no problems is low mileage. Lets see as they get a little age on them.

Probably nothing wrong with the tires, as every tire, chinese or whatever must meet DOT standards, especially since the Firestone scandal. Problem is sometimes, these brands are hard to get warranty replacements for while traveling, and more of a ...you pay me now and we'll let you know what they say later...as in much later.
I would probably check around some more, as I purchased 8 Goodyear's last year for about $268 ea., which also had a sizeable factory rebate and the dealer threw in some more stuff, like some work on DW's roadster.

Did a search.....
My Webster's dictionery says it's a mispelling of wheelbarrow.
"Wheelbarrel" is not listed.
But thanks for the response.

Seems some people think everything is junk if it is not what they own.
