Discount Goodyear Tires & Car Services

Buying union-made tires

The U.S. Department of Transportation requires that all tires sold in the United States carry a code which shows the company and plant that made the tire.  The code would look like this: DOT BE XX XXX XXX (where the Xs stand in for numbers and/or letters that are not part of the plant ID code)

The two symbols (either two letters or a letter and a number) which follow DOT indicate the company and the plant where a tire was manufactured.  For example, the above code indicates a tire made by B.F. Goodrich in Tuscaloosa, AL. The following is a listing of U.S. unionized tire DOT codes.  By comparing this list to the code on the tire you are buying, you can be certain you are getting a union-made (United Steelworkers - USW) tire.
