    What brands of tires are made in the USA?

    What companies if any make their tires here in the USA? It would be nice to buy something made here.

    Pretty vague as I dont know what kind of tires you are looking for, but I was just adjusting my rear shock and noticed my old STU Sand Skate 1s say made in USA? Why USA tires? Im not sure the US is on the forefront of tire technology, or any technology for that matter

    They look like hubs off a 400ex. Extended 400ex hubs maybe.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    Well if I don't try to buy stuff made in the USA, I can't really complain that there are no jobs and everything is made in China. Being from Michigan if you have ever seen Flint you'd understand. We used to be this awesome state that made the best cars in the world, I still love the state but we sure could use some jobs here. Now most "American" cars are a far cry from American made, and parts of southern MI where cars were once made look like a deserted waste land. I like the idea that when I buy something it will help someone in the US keep their job. That's the only reason I want tires made here.

    america! yeah!!!!


    try buying things only from texas, most small stuff is easy because lots of us tend to have that mentality. but the bigger items are tougher.
    if it aint broke, break it.

    Man, I hear ya. You need to hook up with Michael Moore you guys would have a lot to talk about. (Capitalism:A love story) Unfortunately (IMO) when you buy from most American corporations you are feeding the most greedy crooked POSs on the planet.......................... wait......... isnt this one of the two things you arent supposed to talk about...politics? Anyhow, yes those are the G-Force extended hubs for 250X/300EX/400EX/450R Honda adapted to a T3 axle. Thanks! Oh by the way- they are made in Tawain

    I wasn't trying to talk politics, just saying why I try to buy stuff made here. But you gotta figure though the American company that makes stuff here has got to be a little less greedy than another company that just found somewhere cheaper to make tires. And yeah you can get some good stuff made over seas.....like 99.999% of trikes.
