As per title, what's the difference? Currently using re003, made in thailand. Want to buy new tires and would like to know the difference.

I heard made in Indonesia is cheaper by a little

Should not be much different if any at all. Both countries have been making top brand tires for longest of time already, especially Bridgestone in Indonesia. Both countries also have similar climate and road condition which is similar or even harsher than Malaysia so should be fine. I have used top tires (BS, GY, Michelin, Dunlop) made by both countries without any problems whatsoever, all performed as expected on par with those from Japan & Europe.

If Indo/Thai/China BRAND tires then maybe not good. But if top brands like GY/BS etc2, made in Indo/Thai/China, then they should be fine.
