Tire Quality -- Continental now made in India -- Who makes quality tires these days?

Sigh. For years I've bought Continental tires, and they've served me well. Puncture resistant, long wearing.
But now apparently, they're made in India, and the reviews are terrible (check out Amazon reviews for "Continental Ride Tour City/Trekking Bicycle Tire, 26x1.75" for example).

Is there a website or recommendation site that tests tires for longevity, consistency or quality?

The "Bicycle Rolling Resistance" site does this for hard core racers concerned about rolling resistance, but they don't touch issues of durability, puncture resistance, gravel riding or whatever relevant to City and utility bikes.

Does Schwalbe still make their own tires?
