I do believe Cooper is the only American Made/owned company left. There are many tires made in the USA but foreign owned or merged. I just bought Toyos for my FORD the company is Japanese owned and made in the USA.

Did yall know there is NOT ONE rotor company left in the United States left? All rotors are made over seas. EBC is a German company mass producing the best quality.

Im getting ready for some new ones to. On my little huntin truck. These dang buckshot mudders roar worst of any tire I ever owned. They only bout half wore out. They willgo though but I guess I'll go back with some kind of cheap AT tire. Only time I drive it is hunting.

Cooper discoverer AT3. Low noise and good grip.

I asked the same question on here a few months ago. Thanks to all the input I also went with the Coopers. Our Discount Tire had a Cooper ATR which is a 55,000 mile warranty with almost the same exact tread as the AT3 and they were less than the AT3. Way less than the BFG. So far I really like them....see how they do in snow.

Correction. I listed Cooper ATR in the above post. That is wrong. That ATR tire is more of an SUV tire. The ones I bought are Cooper ATP. From what they told me, this tire is built specifically for, and available only at Discount Tire. At $132, they are almost $400 a set less than BFG AT's and $200 less than Cooper AT3. An awesome tire for the money....

Todd you are correct the ATP's are made only for Discount Tire. I usedbe the store manager of a ooper Tire dealer. Cooper has started building tires in china. Alot are still being made in Akron Ohio. We also used to buy Goodyear Kelly Dunlop Fitestone Bridgestone. All in which build tires over seas. Alot of folks are not aware of the few manufacture that actually bulid tires. Example Starfire Mastercraft Ironman Elderado Dean and many more are built by Cooper Tires.
