Gee, we could get together for a group purchase, and then "roll our own"
That was my first thought when I saw this thread lol
Which got me thinking… what features would the ideal BITOG tire include?
Forever treadwear
Insane traction
Never overheats at 200 MPH
PERFECT!!
OH, and free to BITOG members!
You forgot the 3PMSF rating
Is this the factory they had in Texas?
The closure seems to have been announced last year. This article has a comment from someone who was there almost 20 years. The former employee states that incompetent American management is to blame, and that he had no problems with the Japanese leadership.
Here is Toyo's press release from last summer.
Toyo didn't make tires in this facility. They made vibration dampers and rubber boots.
In fact, Toyo's tire business is up double digits
Kentucky, not Texas.
