I'll play - Bridgestone Brazil for the older front tires, putianm fujuan china for the newer rear (both those came from PO - 14" very hard time finding any tires so got the chinese as that was all that was around)... and my car (Kumho), Thailand

Interesting sidenote on that last post - you notice 2 different sizes one clearly says Made in USA, the other Made in Mexico, same brand, same line, same model, same everything except size... I figured that out about 3 cars ago on my '89... the Toyo's I loved for that car were made in Japan, the Toyos for mom '92 (only bought em once, hated em, sucked) bigger tire must have been made somewhere else cause it was the first time I ever saw a set of Toyos that were bad.
 
I'll bust my butt if I walk out to the driveway right now. The ice is getting thick.


Plus, it's cold and I don't feel like it.
 
Mine are inside in an unheated garage... I knew dang good and well I didn't have super nice tires cause I was too pissed at how dang expensive all the options were, I let my wallet pick for me and got only ones I thought were reasonable and had heard good things and reviews about ...Kumho Solus.

Checking mine would be a bit difficult at the moment. I'm running Cooper, Falken, and BF Goodrich. I would be surprised if any of them were made in the US.
 
Update. Both trucks have code 1BF >> Michelin North America. The Superduty has BFG AT's and the Ranger has BFG MT's. Made in USA. Yay!
 
I just went out and looked. All 4 of my Yokahama MTs say made in Japan on them. I didn't hang out long enough to find the code. May just say that on all them since their headquarters is located there.
 
since there is a 2nd ranger here I figured I would go check it, Laufenn which I thought was a french company from the name - BC, Hankook Indonesia
 
My BFG's on the F250 and jeep are USA.

never checked the ATX's on the ranger. Im sure the front tires are chinese
