The current size options stink. If they had them in an 38 or 40 I'd give them a shot. They look similar to the Nitto Ridge Grappler.

I strongly suspect that the Chinaman has his fingers in this, since nowhere on their website does it indicate where they are made only where their distribution is based.

China builds some pretty good stuff these days, but tires aren't some of that stuff.

If you look at the majority of the top tier "American" tire brands, often many of their tires are manufactured in other countries.

Milestar's parent company is Nankang. They manugactur their tires in Taiwan and Indonesia. They are distributed by TireCo which is an American Company.

Nankang has been making quality tires for many years.

I'm well familiar with Nankang (Chinese) and their quality.

I spent 40 years in the tire industry and now buying tires is part of my job.

I won't even accept quotes for Chinese produced tires.

The M/T is an amazing tire. Every Jeeper who has them loves them.

I'd buy these X/Ts in a heartbeat if they offered more sizes and lighter load ratings.
