Does It Matter Where They Are MADE??

The store manager called and told me they will get four tires from the same country of origin ... he didn't offer any pushback ... just that he understood and would want the same on his truck too. Great service!

As long as the date codes are good, I wouldn't worry.

Discount tire being very accommodating and fulfilling the "customer satisfaction" promise.

Kudos.

Bought 4 toyo r/t trail last summer never checked where they were made. I'll check it out tomorrow

I"m impressed that you took the time to check where the tires were made. In all my years I have never thought to check the country of origin. I may be concerned with the tires on my motorcycle, but not on my truck or the wife's SUV.

Will have to look at the other 3 TOYO's on my brothers truck that the dealer installed. Looked at 1 it said Serbia and didn't look any future.

If I couldn't tell any difference and wasn't having any issues, I would not take Discount Tire up on the new set. Doing that will only increase the chance of getting an out of balance tire or some other damage from the dismounting / remounting process. Even an extra scratch on a wheel would be noticed by me and regreted. No thanks.

This is very interesting. I personally, would want all 4 of my tires to be manufactured in the same country. Especially for the amount of money we pay for Nitto, Toyo, etc. This does remind me of a recent situation. I bought some Hoka shoes online. They ended up being a 1/2 size too small. I ordered another pair a 1/2 size larger. I noticed the first pair was made in Taiwan. The second pair was from Japan. The Taiwan pair was noticeably softer foam in the soles and I could definitely feel a much softer feel walking around in them. It goes to show, products made in different countries with “the exact same specs and tolerances” will usually not be the same.

This is about the most screwed up thing read all day. But it's fantastic that Discount Tire took them back.

Someone's got a lot of nerve thinking American customers would be okay with this sh-t.

Living in Las Vegas, I'd jump at the chance to have this mix.

Tires die of UV dry rot long before tread life. Actually, we don't even consider tread life around here.

It would be great to find out that a country of origin lasted a bit longer.

I was actually shocked to find out that a tire on my van had lived past it's warranty!

This. age would be a bigger concern than origin for me

The only thing cooler than having 4 tires from 3 different countries is to have them from 4 different countries.

That would be a great conversation starter.

tell the shop to put the Americans on the front and the foreigners in the back.
