Default Falken 452's Made In Thailand Now?

Hi all,


I just bought new 20 inch tires and noticed the Falken 452's are made in Thailand now (for 20's atleast) ? I currently have Falken 452's in 275/30/20 which are made in Japan and have zero problems with them (knock on wood). Had to replace it due to tire wear (negative camber). I do not drive my car hard, race or do any burnouts of any kind and these tires were great..

Anyone know if the quality went down from Falken 452's made in Japan compared to Thailand?


Thank you.
