Hmmm, aren't Michelin's and Firestone's made in Japan now? I don't really like
putting foreign made tires on my car either, but these days I don't think that
we have much choice. Besides, it isn't like we are wanting the name of the
manufacturer spelled out in giant white letters on the side wall like some
types of auto enthusiasts. I think the only way to get a nice white wall very
soon will be through a company like Coker. I don't think there are any new cars
on the road the come from the factory with white walls anymore. I suppose that
the specialty manufacturer, Vogue will always make something that has some
white on it, but the first one of those that I saw, which was on a factory
fresh brand spanking new 1964 Lincoln Continental Sedan over forty years ago
were a far cry from what that company puts out today.
