Yes, but what he says is true though, People driving in Florida vs. people driving in North Dakota all drive the same tires out of the same molds wrapped with the same materials.

No way will tires subjected to subzero weather and salt show the same chemical breakdowns that a tire sold in southern Florida but they have to be made to drive in both places.

Optimally tires made for specific geographic areas could be made that would do far better than what they have now, but people won’t want to fuss with keeping track of that.

We already suffer from the faults of boutique gas mixtures; please don't compound that with boutiqe tires!
