trailer tires maypop vs walletflattener

I have recently become very disappointed in the quality of domestically produced material in my industry. Low quality control, low out put, high expense, etc. I get the whole buy domestic and save our jobs but I am constantly changing out defective domestic materials. The warranty work hurts my profit and in turn lowers my purchasing and payout to my employees.

My question is this. Spec for spec is domestic material superior or inferior to import? Has anyone noticed a trend? I used trailer tires as an example bacause we all are dealing with them in one way or another.

Maybe an off topic thread? I guess admin could move it if they wanted…

Im in the tire business and have been for 25 years. The imported trailer tires are not good quality at all. the best trailer tires made right now are the Goodyear Marathon. The technology and materials they put into this product is far superior than any other. Now with that being said their are different tiers of products in just about everything that is made. I would make sure you are purchasing their best product and do you home work if its not the best product on the market get the best one.
