Thanks for the list.

 

Of extra interest, might want to expand the list to show which tire brands are owned by the same company. Here's a link for you on Continental Corp AG. Seems they own Continental, General, Uniroyal, and Semperit. Have manufacuring plants in eight different counties. Click on "brands" and "worldwide" to view.

Bridgestone and Firestone are the same company. Country: USA.

Pirelli: Italy.

Michelin: France.

 

Nankang is made in Korea, I think.

 

The General Tire plant is located here in Charlotte NC.

Hoosier is definately USA and probably located in Indiana.

I believe Dunlop is German.

 

For Bridgestone and Firestone

Bridgestone is made in Japan(per the sidewalls on my S-03's). Firestone in the USA.
Per the manager at Discount Tire-BF Goodrich is owned by Michelin.
