I need a new set of shoes on the truck. I needs decent off-road for sand and mud and snow in the road.

Looks like the coopers I liked are Chi-coms so they’re out.

I’ve had good luck with Goodyear Duratracs

List the available ties made here & we'll go from there.

Not optimistic that many can be found, but I'm hopeful.

BF Goodrich AT's would be my choice. Get the MT's if you want a more aggressive tread pattern.

I'd like to see that list, too. I have two complete sets of mounted tires for my Tacoma. One for summer; one for winter. The set I run in the winter is gonna need replacement this year IIRC they were looking a bit thin when they came off this past spring.

Goodyear went WOKE last year.

BF Goodrich ALL-TERRAIN T/A® KO2

Seems like the salesman said General was made here.

Nitto Exo Grappler

I am running some Nokians from Finland (I will put them up there with the Michelins and the Firestone Transforce of old).

Nokian had a "Rock Proof" tire I will try if I ever win the lottery

Continental has a plant in MS.

Not sure if the make non commercial / light duty truck tires.

Yokahoma also.

Junk in sand, mud, rain, and snow. I would buy Chinese tires first.

It’s slim pickins for American made. Some coopers are.

Google is your friend... https://motorandwheels.com/where-are-tires-made-brands/

Or ask TireSlayer91... he seems like an expert on everything.

BFG made in USA I believe.

From Consumer Reports:

BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Continental, Cooper, Firestone, General, Goodyear, Hankook, Kelly, Kumho, Michelin, Mickey Thompson, Nexen, Nitto, Toyo, and Yokohama currently manufacture tires here in America. But these are not all truly "American" brands.

Complicating national pedigrees further, manufacturers might not build all their models exclusively in any one country, as they seek cost efficiency and address local tire needs, such as supplying car factories.

The BFGoodrich tires we bought were made in Canada, China, and the U.S.—but not in the parent corporation’s home nation, France. Tires from the Ohio-based Goodyear brand were built in Canada, Chile, Turkey, and the U.S. Firestone tires were sourced from Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, the U.S., and Vietnam. And the tires we tested from Milan-based Pirelli were made in Brazil, Italy, Mexico, and Russia.

General is made here, but owned by Continental in Germany.

I’m running Firestone Destination A/T’s on the Ranger, Firestone Destination AT/2’s on the 4Runner.

The Camry has Hankook and they are not worth a ccrapp in the rain.

I have tried these. pretty good experience, since they were targeted at a baja type environment they are on the soft side but the non KO2 version seems to be a shade less aggressive on the shoulders and a touch more durable.

Which Coopers are Chinese made? Main factory is in Ohio. Always considered them a made in USA and American owned company.

Both my pickups wear these. I'm happy so far.

Aggressive enough for me, but quiet enough too.

They’re an American owned company but some of the tires are made in chai-Na. I thought the same thing as you, but I googled cooper rugged trek and it says they’re farmed out.

The last few sets I’ve had were not good. They wouldn’t get the snow out, we’re not good in rain or mud. They’re OK in sand. I said junk in sand but they’re OK.

The Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015's I just slapped on my Silverado are stamped Made In USA. They've been a good year round tire for me on an 18 year old 1/2 ton. P metric rated 265/75R 16.

I just got very good mileage & service out of a set of Geolanders. Very mixed driving & not the best tire pressure or rotating maintenance. Would buy those again if my driving warranted.

BFG ATs in all forms are definitely quieter than goodyears. definitely better than the knockoff clones in all respects...

Falken is made in California, right? Maybe foreign ownership but made in USA?

That would suck. I watched a review that said they were made in Arkansas, so I bought some.

The first Toyo M/Ts we’re Japanese made and we’re a 60 to 70,000 mile tire on a gas pickup and you couldn’t drive a rock through them. They drove great and didn’t howl.Then they started making them in the US and the first generation were absolutely [bleep] as you couldn’t get 25,00 miles out of the damn things and a lot of flats. As far as I know they are still made in the US and are doing a lot better. The set I have on now have got over 50 k on them. I’m hearing decent thing’s about the open country A/T tires on diesel trucks. Les Schwabs had them exclusively but I think that has changed and you can get them elsewhere.

I used to know the big name - generic associations...

Conti - General ::German manuf:US Manuf.

You can see on Tire Rack in the "Specs" section for each tire, where it is made.

General Grabber A/Ts are made in the US and would top my list for a mix of road/off-road/snow.

We have a big Goodyear plant here in SE Alberta (Medicine Hat). I have had great results running Nokians and Geolanders over the years on my various Rams. Wanted Nokians for my current 2019 Ram but they don't make them in the size I needed. Went with Coopers instead. Bought them in early Sept, went on a Foothills hunting trip right away. Ran my truck into places guys weren't going with Quads. I'm happy so far.

And they bought Cooper. Never really bought Goodyear, but won’t be buying Cooper anymore.

the coopers I used to run are now made in Thailand, tire guy said same company/same plant?

I need to look it up. not called Coopers anymore

I had 3 sets of BFG’s of Ford diesels. The Exo’s are better in every way. Stiffer sidewall, throw less rocks, get 10K more Mi out of them, no more noise than KO2’s. They’re better on packed snow/ice as well but I didn’t figure you’d care about that.

Many of the big tire companies have plants in multiple countries. Pretty hard to tell which place your toes are coming from. I'm running Wildpeaks. Great tire. I wouldn't put Geolanders on my truck if they were free. No warranty, no customer service

I’ve wondered about those. They’re kinda like the first gen BFG’s

From Discount Tire the Geolander AT’s have a 60k mile warranty.

I had a set of Grabber A/T 2s on my little Chevy Tracker and was well satisfied with their performance on paved roads, some light off road, as well as snow and ice, but the tread did wear down to where they needed to be replaced at about 10k miles short of the manufacture's mileage rating.

Try to collect on it. Worst tire company in existence

What ever wall-mart is selling, are good to go..

Go to Tirerack.com, enter the size tire you need. Pull up the specs on any tire that interests you, it'll list the country of manufacture. There are quite a few American-made tires, contrary to popular belief.

I run those on my Frontier, and they're great in snow, and pretty good in rain, too, except when it's raining REALLY hard. I bought some in October about four years ago, and drove out to Missouri in November, when they got a bad, bad snowstorm for deer season. I never spun a tire even in the snow and ice. I had reason to drive to KC, and they worked well on the highway, I passed a LOT of cars, trucks and SUVs piloted by morons who didn't know how to drive in the snow and had spun out into the median (I-70). I didn't even have extra weight in the bed (2WD), but I never spun a tire and didn't feel a bit worried about traction.

We had a deluge situation a couple of weeks ago, coming home from visiting my ailing mother, when the bottom fell out of the sky, and it rained so hard that RainX and new wiper blades couldn't keep up with the rain, and the now older Yokohamas spun going UPhill on the water running down the road. That scared me a lot worse than the snow somewhat earlier. No tires could have done better, though, I think fish could have lived on that highway.

There is a Cooper Plant somewhere around Texarkana. I drove by it a couple of weeks ago.

I checked the Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek on Tire Rack and they say USA origin:


Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek

I have these on a 2018 4runner. They were rated as the #1 tire by tire rack when I got them. I don't think they are very good in the snow, a bit noisy, wearing fast, and worst had a super hard time to balance. I won't get these again at any price. They had me stuck for a few hours last winter in some nice ice and snow. I think a better tire would have pulled out. I am really amazed these were a top line tire. My factory tires were a lot better, and got more mileage to boot.

My Toyo Open Country AT 3s are a damn good tire and say Made in USA on the side wall. I have them on my 2017 F250 Diesel with about 10k on them and show very little wear! Absolutely great tire in the snow and ice last year and are much more quiet on the road than my last set of BFGs!

I keep them at 65psi and rotate every 5k.

I had 55K miles on the pair that was on my last truck when I sold it. They still looked like they were going to go another 50K.

AT Duellers.

From tires to bullets, ratings and reviews are a crap shoot. I read them with a healthy dose of interpretation. Most reviews are worthless. And there is always the chance you simply get a set from a bad lot.

Cooper AT3....and they are US Made

As of last year every LT rated Cooper was made in the US. That sucks if they went Chinese

Nitto ridge grapplers are my current go to for an all around AT tire. I have 35k on the set on my f350 diesel and expect I would get atleast 50k from them but that truck is due to be traded in as soon as my new f350 is built. It too will get Ridge Grapplers

Had a set of Hankook ATMs on my truck for over four years and all but 60K miles. Would've still passed inspection, but it was October and I ain't much for going into winter with minimal tread. Good wear, fair wet traction, pretty good in snow, mud and on icy roads.

Replaced them with a donated set of Bridgestone AT Duelers with about 3/4s tread left. Not my cup of tea and no comparison to the Hankooks. Debating what to replace those with this fall, now on a limited income since I'm retired. Probably get one more year out of the truck, so expensive tires aren't on the menu?

I’ve had good luck with coopers, at some of tires are made in the USA

I've been looking at these https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cep-74532 Dick Cepek Trail Country and according to the website they are Made in USA

Cooper tires suck
BFG at2
Good year has some usa tires also
Mischiln LTX

I’ve used their warranty several times. Last time was in a set of Flaken tires. They replaced them completely with a set of Yokohama Geolanders. No questions asked or hassle.

They didn’t all go that way. But some for sure.

The Falken Wildpeak AT 3’s I looked at today were Japanese. I don’t have a problem with that. USA is my preference, no Chinese.
