Goodyear tyres.
Discussion
So I've just had a new set of alloys and fitted a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 6s on them, once i had fitted them i noticed that the fronts which are 225/40/18 are made in Germany, but the rears which are 245/35/18 are made in Slovenia, is there any particular reason why that's the case at all?
It doesn't bother me, was just a little baffled.

They are asymmetric.It doesn't bother me, was just a little baffled.
Because of the hash that has been made of Brexit, and the abject failure of our government to agree a free trade agreement with the EU, we are no longer allowed to buy a full set of tyres made in a single EU country. So, if you buy four EU produced tyres at the same time, they have to come from at least two different EU countries *

My PS4S’s Spanish on the front and from the USA on the rear.
Rears are wider, but bought within a few months of one another, but for Michelin, nine are French.
On these sizes, there is presently no UK stock unless I buy Merc specific fronts and Ferrari specific rears, the former have a different tread pattern and the latter have less tread.

Good effort (* I definitely made this up)
the 225 tyres made in germany are the standard tyres - they're then shipped to slovenia for a few months for finishing up to a 245. this is also where they gain their 'XL' rating.
the finished tyres are of a higher grade, with more supple compound. they release less water when they're heat cycled, and also have less shrinkage.
