Msnbc dude; I don't even follow links if they are to Fux. There go the cheap Falkens. Why isn't there anyone but the Dems or the Reps to vote for?

We are being fucked by China, but China doesn't want to be fucked. Obama speaks softly, but carries a big dick.

Exactly.
We have had a serious unfair trade inbalance with China for years an this is a first step in imposiong tariffs on Chinese products like they impose tarriffs on US products.

Point on China taken, but from what I can gather though this was basically a concession to the UAW to seek support for health care. I hate concessions that cost me money., Still given the same circumstances, I would vote for him again. I am one the people who bitches all the time about international capital redistribution, and the migration of American jobs overseas.

falkens are made in japan

Bob Dog · 09-15-2009, 04:12 PM

My Falkens came from China, its written right in the tire. I believe Hankooks are Chinese too aren't they?

what's the other country?

IMO the only tire worth mention from Falken is the RT615 lol

Bob Dog · 09-15-2009, 04:42 PM

I think japan. they were only $50 each @ the time I bought them, and so far i've been really happy with them . I'll look around again when I need some new ones.

My Falken 912s are made in Thailand (says so on the side). I believe Falken is actually part of the Sumitomo Rubber Company (Japan), though.

My old 512s were made in Japan, though ...

I had some used Nankan NS tires (Chinese), and they were terrible.

Bob Dog · 09-15-2009, 08:06 PM

yeah I think you might be right, i think they were made in thailand. Thailand , not Taiwan so there don't go the cheap falkens; actually they shipped with 1 from japan and 3 from thailand. Pardon me for being a dumbass, I hadn't looked at them in over a year.

Kioshi · 09-16-2009, 12:30 AM

Falkens are awesome. Had them on my old Mitsu and on the Vitz, still going strong since 7012 miles, now 27,000 almost~
