  Not to be a nay sayer, but the ltb's happen to be made in china, or so says the last issue of 4wheel and off road. they sure are a deal anyhow!

[splasher]

I think they only specified the 47" LTB's were made in China, but honestly if ANY of their products are made in China than that's enough convincing for me to take my future purchases elsewhere.

well thepoint of my build and all of my builds is cheap and easy! sorry... is there any other super cheap tire options? i kinda want michelin xl's 9.00x16 or 11.00x16 but i dont know how or where to gt them local

I'm not trying to foist my opinion on anybody, just saying, that I wouldn't willingly contribute to that country's ability to wage economic war on my country.

I searched around a little and some of the smaller LTB's were made in Ohio and then Mexico. Possible that some are still made in America, maybe only the 47'' is made in china after all.

[splasher]

Either way, ANY company that farms out it's facilities to China for the SOLE BENEFIT of profit at the expense of American jobs won't be getting my money. (if I can help it) Honestly Mexico isn't much better. DeWalt farmed out some of it's assembly to Mexico and IMMEDIATELY those tools began to be POS's. And now I don't buy DeWalt tools mfr'd in Mexico.

I'll stop the Hi-Jack now.
