Mac,

"Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Company manufactures Westlake's tires at their
state of the art manufacturing plant in China. The tires are sold under the
Westlake Tires banner throughout the United States and Canada."

From https://tirereviewsandmore.com/westlake-tire-reviews/

The company, Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Company, appears to be the "Goodyear"
of China, based on my findings of a few years ago.

The Westlake brand is marketed in the US by www.Tireco.com

There was a guy here today with a Dodge pickup. It had Westlake tires. I've never seen them before today.

I just remembered.... I had Westlake tires on one of our T-600 Kenworths hauling 80k gross and no issues. Road smooth and long. They were on it when I sold it.

Again were supporting the Red China.
I hope we tag them with tariff as the Chinese are not going to negotiate.
Were forced to purchase other items as there are none made other than Red
China.
