I seached but had no luck finding out what I wanted to know....yes I even "googled"

I just want to know which major tire company manufactures tires in the USA. I know some companies have factories all over the planet. If anyone can add their 2 cents....I'd appreciate it, Thanks

 

Goodyear makes tires in the US and others.

 

Firestone?

 

Bridgestone?

 

I am not sure, but those sound like American names.

 

Bridgestone is Japanese and has 'owned' Firestone for some time now.
I'm sure they make tires all over the globe.
More American-made only brands might be Cooper and some specialty racing tires.

 

bf goodrich are made in the us...bridgestone is made in japan

 

The reason I'm asking for tires made in the US, is that I don't have to pay duty on them when I bring em back from the US to Canada.....heck is there any good tires made in Mexico?
For those of you who do not know, there is free trade between Canada/US/ & Mexico....and since the Can$ is worth more than the US buck, and since goods in the US is a lot cheaper(lower priced) it's great being a Canadian shopper I'm gonna shop til I drop

 

Hoosier also makes their tires in the US, but those probably aren't what you're looking for.

The duty on European or Asian made tires won't be that bad - should only be about 5%

 

Every tire has a factory code plus week of manufacture on the sidewall.

There are 120+ US tire factories [trucks and cars]

 

I suspect he is looking for tires made exclusively in the US. But I may be wrong.
Only Cooper and American Racing come to mind. But the list should help.
