    Kumho to build in USA

    Sounds like a pretty big plant.  I'd assume this covers R and street compounds.  Should help but get latest designs in before deadlines and delivery of same.

    That sounds great - I hope they have some positions open in Racing Promotions and Demonstrations.  Sign me up for that spot as long as it comes with the company car and expense account; I am negotiable on the "Free Set of Race Tires" signing incentive.

    Seriously, good going Illinois Economic Development!

    I wouldn't necessarily assume that R-tires and specialty street tires would be included. It very well may be that if the compounding/formulation work is done in Korea that they elect to do the manufacturing close by as scale up would be easier.

    The exchange ratio helps American manufacturing again.

    Oops!!!  Georgia Economic Development gets the Kudos!!!

    I couldn't get the site up at work to read the press release, the first poster is from Illinois. 

    Hmmm, I could live in Georgia!
