Thank you for the information PSFORD99. When I purchased my 2014 Ford I was not aware that the engine is manufactured in Mexico. However, it is still Ford. Mexico is not Communist China. I did not knowingly purchase a communist country's product. Of course by your rationalle eventually everything will be made in Communist China. I prefer to support US manufacturers where possible.

Now let us look at the economics of the G614 vs. the S637. Assume the set of tires last 30,000 miles. This is realistic since I actually got ~40,000 on my last set. Let us say the price for 4 G614s is $1204 (found them for $300.99 each online), that works out to $0.040133/mile (approximately) vs. $636 for 4 S637s (I found them online for $159/tire). That works out to $0.0212/mile. For that little difference I am sticking with G614s and maybe saving a manufacturing capability in this country.
