Interesting Tires at WalMart...

Black-Tooth

Sorry, no... they don't really carry anything we would want. They do carry (or can order) some 70 series 13 inchers...

But I did peruse the tires a bit to see where they were made. It appears that because of duty-fees and customs and the like... that "foreign" companies can do better by manufacturing their tires in the U.S. and domestic manufacturers can do better by contracting overseas builders.

Michelin All Terrain Tire... Made in Turkey
Michelin All Season Tire... Made in USA
Dunlop (?) Tire... Made in USA
Goodyear (?) Tire... Made in Chile

Again, the tires that were the sizes I liked for my X were:

Pro-Meter 205/60x13... Made in China
Achilles Platinum 175/60 x 13... Made in Indonesia

Just sayin'... as we have come to accept most everything electronic we use is made elsewhere... now even most of our major home appliances... it should become easier to accept other products as well. Just as long as we don't become overly dependent... Hopefully we haven't done so already...
