    Those do look good. I had excellent service from Hankook tires on my last truck.

    Don't know anything about their trailer tires but I've had their automobile tires before and had good luck with them.

    They have manufacturing all over the world which includes two facilities in TN. As a major USA vehicle OEM supplier one would think the TN plants would be filling those requirements. Don't know about the trailer tires.

    Per email contact with Hankook, these trailer tires are made at most of there factories. To determine an exact factory location they would need the DOT code off the tire.

    China owns/provides allot of things in the USA. Most folks have no idea... How about some of that Smithfield bacon.

    I won't buy another CHINA-pop no matter where they are made. I've been running Endurance since they came out and haven't had an issue with them. Could I have a blow out or a flat, sure, I just support American made as much as I can. It's a free country, so far, run what you want to.

    American made or not... After what Goodyear Marathons have done to me and hunrdreds/thousands of other people towing trailers, I will never touch another Goodyear trailer tire again. Those Hankook's look like a decent option. I have run Maxxis 8008s for a decade and have never had a failure. knock on wood.

    Were your marathons made in China. I have ran Marathons on my rangers for years and never a problem. The "newer" marathons that were made in Chana were just what they were.....China Pops. There isn't a tire made, however, that can't have a blowout. Some are just more prone to them than others. That's like saying my tires won't slide in the rain, yeah right!. I just find it hard to finance communist China so I only buy when from there when I have to. Try my best to buy American made.

    Any tire made in China is junk... they all get belt separation well before their lifespan is up... you buy one and you get what you deserve

    I totally agree with your comments regarding the Goodyear Marathons. Those tires were/are junk !!!! After multiple blowouts, knots on the side walls, slipped belts and damage to trailer fenders, I moved away from trailer tires all together. I switched over to radial car tires and have not had a problem since. There is no reason to run trailer tires on a boat trailer, especially tandem axle trailers like mine. The car radials will handle the loads just fine, wear better and do not have the issues seen with the trailer tires. Trailer tires are junk are will pose problems regardless of brand.

    As 21XDC said, zoom in to the Tire Rack link he posted, Made in China on the side wall. Nope!

    Maxxis is a good trailer tire, used them a few times, the Hankooks on my wife's 2020 CR-V lasted only 24,500 miles
