the answer is hard to give as most tire companys have plants both over seas and here. some tires you think are made in america because the company was founded in america are not. some tires made by companys that you think are from japan, germany, china, ect... are sometimes made in america.

for instance there is a kumho plant right on I-55, a firestone plant in bloomington, and many michelin tires are made over seas.

"Nitto Tire North America Corperation" headquarters and plant was opened in Cypress CA around 2006. they are a division of toyo, prior to that plant they were made over seas. their parent company of toyo tires are still made overseas.

I'd love to have American-made tires on my Canadian-made car, but I'm not going to get something less suited to my needs for the sake of that.
