Well said and I completely agree, it should be just that simple.
Either way, having never owned or purchased either a Benz or a Hankook tire it's really not applicable to me.
As for the first world/third world blather, again it's immaterial to me what one wants to consider Hankook. But it could be a good thing if like Hankook seems here, only the headquarters and not the the production and manufacturing facilities are considered. If US based/owned Harbor Freight, Craftsman and Walmart were considered similarly perhaps some of the repetitive hand wringing thread/posts could be eliminated.
In any case I do find it somewhat comical that one could get apoplectic over MB's decision. It's not like they're going to change it because of what's written here anyway.
