i was told years ago that Malaysian rubbers are the best, par none. Shouldn't it then translate to Malaysian made tyres being better compared to other countries?

On another note, can the consumers see the country of origin on the side of the tyre?

Most tyres manufactured, are they using synthetic rubber, or natural rubber? i'd guess that natural rubber would cost more, correct?

Are there any OEM tyres sold in malaysia? What are the brands?

So it should be brand > country manufactured. Agreed?

But the argument would be... the work ethic and adhering to standards is more prevalent to those europeans, whereas asians are more inclined to cut corners. This holds water?
