Re: Yokohama Geolandar A/T Plus II
But this IS a discussion group, and things slightly OT that interest us are
still fair game.
E.G., the "Buy American" issue.
I would love to be able to support my country by making sure that everything
I buy is made here. It's not possible.
The FTC has some guidlines,
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/madeusa.htm , but it's not
really accurate.
Is a Toshiba television, made in San Diego (Otay Mesa), California, by
Mexican Nationals who legally cross the border to work, an American TV?
Is a Harley Davidson Motorcycle made in Milwaukee of 35% American made parts
MORE American than a Honda Goldwing, made in Ohio of 45 % American made
parts? At least the Polaris Victory IS a 100% American motorcycle, that
can't be said for ANY car, light truck, Jeep or SUV.
I am one of the few who would willingly pay more (within reason)for an
American product, but I can rarely find one. I can't afford to have my
sneakers hand-made, so they are imports. It turns out that my "Columbia"
parka was made in Vietnam. Damn! It was a gift.
Is there an American tail light bulb for sale, anywhere?
Is buying a B.F Goodrich tire, French owned, more Patriotic than buying a
Yokohama?
Is there an American made tire better than a BFG MT for general off-roading?
What tires do you run, Bill?

Re: Yokohama Geolandar A/T Plus II
Hi Paul,
I run BF Goodrich, that does bother me, but America makes no tires.
I try my very best to buy American, at least in name like RCA. I surely
wouldn't even look at a product with a foreign surname. And NO parts are
made by Americans for any Japanese vehicle, outside of a couple of SMOG
parts, that they're constantly bitching about, according to the bought
and paid for TV magazines, I've watched.

The Nissan Titan was designed in your state (CA), manufactured in MS and
the engine was built in TN. Ya gotta figure you're feeding at least one
American's family there somewhere.
