Title: american made 245 50ZR16's
Post by: GangstGP on September 12, 2006, 12:47:37 PM
Kelly Charger directional tread made in USA. I have to wait all day today and half way through tomorrow.

I have been driving a ford  :icon_redface: for the last month because I decided to paint my wheels off my new car. had to strip them and get them professionally painted with 2 stage and cleared inside and out.

I am a loyal Kelly customer because my grandpa was a Kelly/Springfield executive back in the '60s and '70s before he retired from his business career a few years ago, he was chairman of the board right before he retired. he actually worked for a bunch of different tire companies over the years and his job was to fly all over the country to different distributers and keep tabs on them.

Does anyone else have people tell them " NO tires are made in the USA! they are all made over seas" and swear up and down that the only tires you can get are their cheap ass chinese tires? I just went all over town shopping for tires and thats what every store told me. then I went to Tire Factory and they told me those other distributers got cut off from their supply because they owe Kelly money. so they are just lying to people as a sales tactic. they were saying that Kelly went out of business, when in reality they sold-out their country. :icon_evil:

I will have pics in a few days. they are paid in full, $500 mounted and balanced. just gotta get em, take em home and put em back on. that makes $750 I just blew on my rolling stock in the last week  :icon_mrgreen:  including paint.

you have a Tire Factory that sells Kelly's and Coopers too? Kelly's are just low priced goodyears, wich is what ill probably be getting, because goodyears are sooo exspensive
