TIRES Jul 29, 2019
THE 15" CHINESE TIRES USED ON TRAILERS SHOULD BE BANNED IN THIS COUNTRY. BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAP IMPORTS THEY ARE USED AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT BY THE MANUFACTURES,AS COST SAVINGS. THIS TAKES AWAY ANY COMPETITION FROM AMERICAN TIRE MANUFACTURERS,SO AS A RESULT, THERE ARE LITTLE IF ANY AMERICAN MADE TIRES TO REPLACE THE HORRIBLE CHINESE TIRES. THESE TRASHY CHINESE TIRES HAVE CAUSED MILLIONS IN DAMAGE AND PROBABLY MANY TRAFFIC COLLISIONS. THEY SHOULD BE BANNED AND MANUFACTURES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE THEM ON ANY TRAILERS.
