Since that time, I only buy Continental tires which are made in Germany

I hate to break it to you, but they're made in China. In fact, most components on all German cars are Chinese these days.

I can tell you with certainty that my car was built in Stuttgart. The reason I know this is, when I went to purchase the new vehicle in 2014, the only C-Class cars they had on the lot were C-300s, which are 6-cylinde3r all wheel drives, and C-250s which have 4-cylinder turbo engines.

Since I wanted a 6-cylinder rear-wheel drive vehicle, I had to special order a C-350, and I had to wait 2 months to get it. And the invoice clearly stated the car was built in Stuttgart Germany.

Actually very few USA marketed tires are made in China. Lots of tires made in Asia for sure but not in China. However, this is important to me as well as you and my go-to for info on tire specs including country of manufacture is Tire Rack www.tirerack.com . I am not familiar though with industrial tires and perhaps your concern could apply to them. Just don’t know.
