tyre question, gsd3's

[Al]

I was under the impression that all the odd sized GSD 3s were made in Germany and the U.S.My 255/40/17s were made in the U.S and my 285/40/17s were made in Germany and I've heard of all the normal sizes ie 205,215,225.235 and so on were made in Aussie.

Best wet weather tyre bar non anyways I reckon and it is really competitively priced vs your bridgestones pirellis and other brands.

I ran 205/40R17 and 235/40R17 on my old MR2 they were both made in Germany.

it's the principle that annoys me. apart from licensed factorys from freign companies china just makes cheap knock offs of everyone elses goods and steals their sales.

japan have earn't their reputation. if chine want the same they can developed their own innovative and high quality products.

I have been buying chinese computer parts for 10 or so years... of those parts - most of those that have not been obsoleted have not failed me yet.

There is major duplication industry in china... but to suggest that everything chinas makes is a cheap knock off is a tad silly dont you think buddy?

At the end of the day... the rubber is quality controlled and the design is the same... i cant see what the problem is...

The sounds a lot like when england tried to stop toyota & co importing cars because the japs could do it cheaper - therefore the cars must of been rubbish...

Most computer parts come from Taiwan, not China

Also, THASHZ says that the GSD3's from China aren't as good as the ones from Germany. The factory has only been around for about a year.

the 265/30/18's that dad had on his aristo starter peeling off in chunks yet the set he had on before them worked awesome... the 225 and 245/50 16's we have on our van are performing perfectly, and man that thing sticks! dads also just got 225/50/16's for his supercharged previa, just went to taranaki for the rally and at 5am this morning they were working great. not sure where they came from though. guess just depends on the batch you get i guess...

Dont know what computer shop you work in mate but i was having to continually re-assure customers that the chinese products where just as good as the taiwanese products when i used to work in a computer shop.... most people from taiwan hate products made in china for some reson i never understood...
