Are there any American made tires left? I would like to support my country and the American worker...but are there any tires not made overseas? Goodyear? Michelin? Which ones are really made here?

Continental/General is a German owned company.
Goodyear owns Dunlop and Kelly, Republic etc. but I am not sure what nationality the company is.................

Just cuz a company is foriegn owned doesn't mean they dont support american jobs... not saying all do, but the ones with plants here... I work for Shell, which isn't an "american" company, but they sure as hell employ a **** load of us americans.
I'd say focus on where the tire is made (like the original post says), not who owns the company.

My father works for Bridgestone has since 1974 (refuses to own a set and will tell that to anyone) and to the best of our knowledge the only company that makes 100 percent of the tires in the U.S. is Cooper, but this type of information is hard to pin down for the average consumer and for a very good reason. Goodyear has factories in Mexico and Southeast Asia
