Have you checked the sidewall of the egg tires to see where they are made ? I wouldn't be surprised if Michelin and succumbed to the price pressure of sending their products to china.
Tire Rack isn't owned by tire rack anymore either, but you probably knew that. They "merged" a couple years ago but I think Discount Tire has more say in the running. I've bought tires from both in the past and my last set of snow tires from "them" from the tire rack website, because I get a $10/tire discount to drive 35 miles and pick them up rather than use the free shipping.
