Hello all,
I purchased a set of Power King tires for my motorhome in early 2000's which are well past time for replacement. They have proven to be outstanding tires and show absolutely zero signs of deterioration or sidewall cracking (which is more than I can say for the two Roadmaster tires I put on tag axle which are only half the age and severely cracked sidewalls). Does anybody know if Power King is still of good quality or now just junk made in China like Roadmaster? Otherwise, anybody know of a quality tire that doesn't cost an arm and leg? Thanks for any and all input!

Most are tires are made in China these days, which has nothing to do with sidewall cracking. Just ask Michelin, which has been one of the biggest culprits. Also don't be surprised if your new Power King's don't say ...made in china...on the sidewall.
At any rate, they've all been approved by the DOT for use on American highways. Biggest difference is in the price and when having to pay extra for their huge marketing campaign.
I could recommend some tires that have served well and for a good price, but they're probably all made in China, so.....

I've put two sets of Sumitomo ST718's on my rig.
Very happy with them.

I do not know about your Power Kings which are still made but I am Running Samsons made in Mexico and I am pleased about 4 years now

But you could call them in Florida and see where the tires you want are made
