Angry Dunlop tires made in Japan?!

So I ordered myself some replacement Dunlops for the Harley since my front tire is as bald as a peeled onion and my back tire has a big hole in it from a nail. Well, the Dunlops I have on there now boast on the sidewall, "Made in USA," which I like on my domestic bike, and which is why I decided to purchase Dunlops again. Well, I got my Dunlops in the mail this week, and while checking them out noticed on the sidewall, "Made in Japan by Sumitoma Rubber." Fuckers, I'm pissed! The only reason I went for Dunlops over Avon or Metzeler is that they're American-made tires, and I got some Japanese Sumitoma shit. I totally sent Dunlop an email about it. Next time, I'm buying Michelins.
