Et tu, Goodyear? Rethinking tires for my car

[Clay Pigeon]

Sucks that Goodyear and Cooper are the only 2 American tire companies.. there need to be more American competition in my opinion

BFGoodrich, Cooper, Dunlop, Firestone, General, Goodyear, Michelin, and Yokohama currently build tires here in America,

Does it matter if it's putting food on your neighbor's plate?

It isn't like you're buying something from china.

Are the tires they build here stamped Made in the USA or Made in Malaysia?

Honestly I don't know, all I know is there's (at least what I've read) only 2 companies that can be considered american.. apparently there is some certification that based on where components are made and what percentage that determines if they can be called American made.. i could be wrong but I thought Cooper and goodforayear were the only 2 companies that have that ISO cert. I do agree with what someone else said that there is more to being American than just being made here

Cooper has been sinking $ into advertising. Ive seen more Cooper adds on tv this week than I recall my whole life lol.. wonder if that is contributing to that

• now if we could just stop buying Clocks, Sicks, seazees,AK’s, HeckleR and Cokes, and all other foreign crap we might be able become an industrialized nation again rather than a bunch of assemblers.

Nothing wrong with european trade.

It's farming out labor to the 3rd world that creates a problem for domestic manufacturing, since they can't compete with slave labor.

Agreed if the trade is fair. I have seen some lopsided deals that keeps the jury out on if it s equal or not. A canned comment "but they have plants here" doesn't wash so much if you follow the money. Slave labor takes rethinking if we can make anything else work here at home. I know it's easier to cave to lower prices but dignity has value also. It's harder work but worth it for me.

I was just about to buy a set of Wranglers for my Jeep, Now I'm glad that I did not. When is Magpul going to start making tires?

My Generals are stamped Made in USA, I know Continental owns them now.

"First, the visual in question was not created or distributed by Goodyear corporate, nor was it part of a diversity training class."

It is entirely possible that Goodyear are both being truthful, but also lying by omission. There is no denial that these slides were shown to staff. From their very specific wording, it is entirely possible that these slides were created by an outside vendor, or a local/regional store, and were presented as part of a general team meeting or any meeting that was not specifically a diversity training class.

I wish we could find out the truth.
But the news today, couldn't find the truth if they were tied in a bag with it.

Yep, along with most of the trade deals that have been done in the last 25 years.

As the Michelin's on my trucks.

Cave to lower prices??? Not always, I buy Japanese Browning Levers at 2 to 3 times the price, before I buy an American made Marlin or Winchester...

I'll admit I am deeply nationalist ( PLEASE don't confuse with white nationalist) so for the most part I am for hard tariffs on imported products. I love old Henry because as the say , "made in America or not at all"

I guess Goodyear finally decided to put out their BS statement. All this happened because the marxists are everywhere in our colleges and are indoctrinating the kids that go to work in the corporate world now.

By the way, if supporting LE can't be said strongly enough, why did they say it last and not first?

I'm sorry but i seem to see some conflicting statements in that.. it seem they are saying we welcome all beliefs and opinions but keep them to yourself.. maybe im just reading to much into it??

Keep questioning the doublespeak and you'll end up in Room 101.

Just sayin'.
