My car needs new tires and I'd prefer made in USA so I want to get an idea of which brands actually make the tires here in the USA.



If you don't mind, crawl under your cars and trucks and let me know the brand, model, and where the tires are manufactured.



On my truck:

BF Goodrich, Radial TA, Made in USA, all 4.

To cold and dark to look at the car now but it has:

Fulda, Quantum Elite


Lawrenceville, GA

Hi Charlie,



Go to TireRack.com and type in a brand name and size tire to fit your vehicle. Then look for the link that says product info. It gives all the dimensions and the Country of origin you're looking for.

'56 Crown Victoria

'61 Starliner Z Code

'51 Ford Victoria

This might help you.

Look up the DOT ID code on the tire and that site will tell you exactly where it is made. Or put in a manufacturer and it will tell you where all the plants are.

I have Michelins (Made in USA) on my truck and the wifeys Mini-Box (Ford Windstar). Some Michelins are made off shore so look closely. My '89 T-Bird SC has Goodyear Eagles, made in Canada.



For the life of me I can't find where the 3" WWW's on my '55 are made.

Larry and Jim, those links are very helpful. I'm glad to see that US made tires are pretty common.

According to my local tire dealer, Coopers are US made also.

They most likely are. Following the link above, there is one plant in China, one in England, and Four in the US. Hopefully the tires for the US market come from the US plants.



Some manufacturers don't come up, BF Goodrich is one but most of them are US made according to the info at tirerack. Fulda, the brand which is currently on the car does not - I know it's a German company but that doesn't mean they're made in Germany, haven't looked yet.

Gary,Is N.C. still part of the U.S.A.?  Randy told me Texas was it's own country!!!

Charlie, just make sure you get tires rated for 300mph if you ever plan to bring that truck to Bonneville or Loring AFB.
