    I'm pretty sure Firestone is a US held company I think Cooper tires are made in the US still too..As well as Uniroyal

    looks like goodyear and cooper are still US, seems like they all have plants here and overseas so not sure how you can designate which ones are actually made here..I wonder where Les Schwab has their tires manufactured..

    the Goodyear plant here just shut down, going overseas. I think there are still a couple plants in the U.S., but it's a sure bet they're planning to move them overseas as soon as possible.

    There are currently no ST tires (trailer tires) made here of any consequence. Try Taiwan made Maxxis tires. I have had great success with them on my travel trailer and will not use anything else.

    I would say get the best tires you can for the money you have to spend. Reallly the selection is going to depend on the weight/use of the vehicle and what will actually fit. I know on the heavier weight equipment trailers I have/use have different ratings due to the weight to be supported and size of the wheel. I think your best bet is to catch up with a reputable tire place and talk with them about their options.

    JL I pull a boat trailer for a living and take a travel trailer when I escape. The camper has Power King Towmax tires - China made. But, for my boat trailer tires, and I go through them, - Carlisle is the only replacement I use. You want a bias ply for trailer tires. Don't just get auto radials that happen to fit.
