Buy American is right. I would never buy Nitto or other foriegn tires when there are great tires made by Americans for us to purchase. I just put some Duratracs on my wifes H3 and they are great. Look great, excellent in snow, quiet.

Any tire manufactured by Cooper Tire and Rubber Company is made right here in the USA and the profits stay here because the parent company is in Findlay, Ohio!

Cooper Tires / Mickey Thompson Tires / Dick Cepek Tires

There are other USA owned and made brands like Pitbull, Pro Comp (I think is still USA owned) and Interco, etc.

I can't say the same for Goodyear. Yes, they are made here but in the end where do the profits go?? Heck, Toyos, Firestones, Nittos, BFGs and other so called USA brands are made here but who is their parent company? And where are they located?
