Pretty sure mine say Brazil but I'll check tomorrow.
Great tyres, absolutely solid handling in the dry and certainly given me no trouble in the wet. As good as anything I've ever used.

Brazil ??? BFG must have changed because they were terrible in the wet

I only buy Yokahamas now made in Japan good tyres expensive but whats your life worth ??

When did you last have a set?
I know the old ones in the 70's and 80's were pretty ordinary in the wet, but these are good.
I have them on both vans and can't fault them.

+1 to what Vombil wrote. 235s are waaaaaay too wide for 6 inch rims. The widest I'd be comfortable going on them would be 205. I'm running 195R14 RD 604 LT (yep, bridgestone light truck) 8ply tyres on my ute as I like the stiffer sidewall. They aren't for everyone, they don't look wide or even remotely low profile but as my ute used to carry a slide on camper I just kept getting them. I'm used to the firmer ride but the trade off is that they handle much better than a soft walled normal 2 or 4 ply radial as they don't smear themselves all over the road when inflated to where they should be. If you want a softer ride then let them down to 35-40psi.

On my other set of 14x7 hurricanes I'm got some 235/60 sumitomos which I haven't really had an issue with in the wet (I inherited them when I bought the wheels) and some 225/60 Nittos I had to buy recently ($145 each) which I'm quite happy with. They come out of the same Japanese factory that every tyre made in Japan comes from (there is now only one tyre factory in that country) and it is quiet, grippy and hopefully last better than the Invos that were on my wifes turbo falcon (which lays tyres to waste as she is her father's daughter if you get my drift....).

Hope that helps.

I have 2 cars with B.F.G. tyres on them,... a set of silvertown whitewalls have made in Mexico on them, and a set of T/A's have made in Mexico on fronts & made in U.S.A. on rears.

B T W, they are fairly ordinary in the wet in my opinion, but in their defence, they are on fibreglass bodied rods with small block chev engines so power to weight may be a factor. & they were bought because variety of available sizes at the time

I do like Yokahamas in the wet.
