This posting mentioned the Hyundai, so I thought it would be a good
one to followup with this query:

In the PBS series "Motorweek", a car-test and automotive-news program,
in an episode a few weeks back, they reviewed the Hyundai. One of their
comments was that it came with "American-made Goodyear tires". What I am
wondering about this is: Is it really economical to ship Goodyear tires
from the US plant (Ohio?) to the West Coast, then float them over to
Korea, and then ship them back here installed on Hyundai cars? Or do
these cars come here in some partially-assembled condition, and the
tires are installed on them after they get to the US?

No big thing, but I am curious.
