Before the hate I want everyone to know Michelin tires sold here are *made in U S A.*
Nice tires, I have a set. Expensive, though.
Michelins are good but they are real expensive. I would rather buy from India too, at least I am getting a good deal

Get BF Goodrich. Same company. (Michelin)
Even better, I heard he told them in Midwestern Standard English.
Michelin manufactures worldwide, including in China. I would concede, however, that they do have several plants in France, mostly near their Clermont-Ferrand HQ.
Probably not a good historical antecedent for a French-American tire manufacturing pissing contest.
South Korean tire makers:
Kumho and Hanook

In the winter, I like many others, bow before the mighty Bridgestone Blizzak, king of snow and ice.
Another cultural conflict and misunderstanding. Americans live to work, Europeans work to live. Did I tell you about my co-workers who worked 70-80 hrs each week getting paid for 40, incompetent, or semi-competent, and who knows how many of those 60-70 hours they actually worked and contributed, that’s how much time they were present, and the idiot management appreciated and rewarded it.

I could probably do more in 25 hours than they do in 70 if it’s not labor.
Where do I sign up?

Interesting sentence, I wonder what it means.
Interesting graphic (?), I wonder what it means.
Uhh...One more time?
The only person getting a good deal would be the maker. Even if the tires cost dropped to $5, I can assure you that the price to the consumer wouldn't budge.
I am not buying any French garbage
The graphic has no actual meaning, it is merely my peculiar way of separating your words from mine. I am still trying to decipher that sentence though.
