I just had two Chink tires go bad. One was on a Wal-Mart lawn trailer. Should have known better than to buy it from Wal Mart. Ran over a rock and punctured a hole in it. Tried to plug it , but would not hold. Took it off to patch it and threw was not enough rubber over the cords to scuff it up to get a patch to hold. When I scuffed the inside of the tire it fuzzed up like a big bushy cat. Just no rubber in the tire. Next time I was at Wal Mart ( the only store around) I found an identical sized Carslile wheel barrow $10.. I immediately looked at the inside and it has plenty or rubber to perform a patch repair. I looked on the side of the tire and it said MADE IN CHINA Oh crap. Well it was cheaper than the tube $13, and the tire seems to be better constructed and heavier.
Second experience. Bought a new Sears log splitetr $1600 Only had it in the yard so I think the tire was bad, but any way it had a leak. Found the leak and it was in between the tread of these highway worthy Chinese tires. Took the tire off and you could see all the cords from the inside. Not even enough rubber to cover the cords. Scuffed the interior to patch, but if fuzzed up and would not hold a patch. Put it back on so I could plug it and there was not enough rubber in the face of the tire to hold a plug without leaking. Called Sears and fussed and they are sending me a new wheel assembly, could not just order the tire it has to come with the wheel??? Oh well, al least it was under warranty. I would expect better quality from sears, but I guess that is how they make money. As a matter of fact the log splitter has more parts stamped with the word CHINA on it than I like, and that would be almost all of it.
