Michelin bought out an Indonesian tire maker recently, and I've seen Made in Indonesia and a non-Michelin DOT code on a set of Uniroyals lately.
Michelin used to make a Costco-exclusive BFG Touring T/A Pro Series, that tire was outsourced to Hankook.
Please tell us why we need to be cautious since many tires are made in Indonesia already-and they don't seem to be littering the highways in North America.
I'm afraid you're reading more into this than is there. The caution concerns the Uniroyal brand and the fact that in different parts of the world, that brand is owned by different people.
The caution is not for Indonesian made tires.
