Which tire deal do you mean? If it was the ford Explorer/Firestone deal, those tires were made in the USA. Decatur, Illinois to be exact.

Not Firestone--There was a number of brands imported from China but the case that got the most publicity was an importer in New Jersey. Why is the importer important-- because our laws do not permit us to sue foreign companies for defective goods. Our only recourse is to sue the importer. The company in N J was small with very limited resources.They filed bankruptcy and left victims of accidents caused by the tires completely helpless.
