    Timken bearings closed their US facility.
    They are manufactured in several different countries though. China being one of them.

    Got axle installed tonight and LOVED the vortex hubs
    Heavy duty easy to grease smooth installation.

    But as I spun the tire I found it has a separated section in it.

    Replaced it's mate duck season. ..

    Not impressed with maxxis trailer tires

    That's good to hear. I was on another forum where this very subject was being discussed. The OP said the Timken plant in his town was shutting down. Guess I should have done some fact checking.
