Hard to say which it is.  Kumho's headquarters are in Korea, but they have
as many plants in China as in Korea (and one in Vietnam).

I agree, I've never heard a bad word about them.  But maybe it's only
ordinary passenger car tires that are made in China ?  

Dunno, just wanted people to be aware.  Likely the recall won't affect any
Kumho tires ... but I would hate to be the one to find out that it should
have.
