I hope my post gets some attention so this leads me to a question(s). With the merger I'm wondering if it would be beneficial to buy Cooper tires anymore? I know the 275/60/15s are now made in Mexico according to TireRack. I looked at some 235/75/15 Goodyears and lots of reviews rated them not so great. So, at this point I'm just wondering if something like Milestar RWL tires would be okay to buy or even Hankook Ventus tires?

My last set of Cooper Cobras I bought in 2006 were made in the USA but, I need to replace them so they are getting hard and past time to replace them. I'm mainly a cruising or highway driving type guy. I also saw that the BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires are made in Mexico as well plus even if they are made in the USA I don't think the rubber is the same quality due to more recent regulations regarding rubber. Also, seems like most 15" tires are made overseas rather it be Mexico, Taiwan, or India.
