Cooper retains its tire manufacturing plant in Findlay, Ohio, but it also produces some of its tires in Georgia, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Considered a good budget alternative to Bridgestone tires, Cooper tires clock in cheaper prices for better performance and similar mileage to tires in the same category. But take note: despite being a renowned tire company, it's important to know that Cooper tires are not immune to issues. In recent times, it has also been affected by major recalls, particularly for its off-road vehicle lineup.
If you're on the fence about the Cooper brand, it also has other tire company subsidiaries like Mickey Thompson, Mastercraft, and Roadmaster
Based in Texas, TreadWright has only been around for forty years. However, it's the only manufacturer on this list that is completely made in the USA. TreadWright also has a strong environmental imperative and boasts being the pioneer in the region's non-commercial tire remolding scene. With its eco-friendly core, TreadWright has also won acclaim for its efforts, like the 2016 Green Company of the Year award. As of 2022, Modern Tire Dealer shares that all tires from the TreadWright portfolio hail from its Houston factory.
Toyo has a plant in Georgia (thanks Brendon!)

Cooper is part of Goodyear now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information. I prefer to buy American.
ReplyDeleteI've had good luck with Cooper Discoverer tires. Snow tires that aren't awfully noisy in summer, good on a 4WD in places like Vermont.
