Difficult to avoid buying ANYthing made in China.
Very easy to avoid buying tires made in China. If you're not buying tires that are utter crap, you're not buying tires made in China.

Didn't know that ^^

Still, all the good high-performance Kumhos come from S. Korea, all the good high-performance Sumitomos come from Japan.
