I don' think it matters so much where they are made if the Alcoa standards are met incluing the forging of the wheel from a single block of aluminum. Quality Control is not limited to North American production. It is a global world and the reality is we are all taking advantage the reduced cost of offshore production on a daily basis.

That speed rating seems abnormally low for a premium tire and I don't think that is a practical rating for a tire on our highways. I will want to keep my speed down to 60-65 too but don't want to be pushing my tires to their maximum rating while doing it. How are speed ratings determined anyway?
I also wonder if Michelin provides the same level of service that Goodyear does when a blowout is encountered. Good service does not replace the need for a quality tire but GY has a good rep for looking after its customers including incidental damage.
