Cooper manufactures tires in the states also. They have plants in Findlay, Ohio, Tupelo, Miss., and Texarkana, Ark. If you look into companies like Goodyear, Michelin, and Bridgestone, you'll find the same trend. They ALL produce tires in the States AND worldwide.
My father is a Cooper dealer at his shop. He sells the Cooper and Mastercraft brands. 95% of the tires he puts on are still made right here in the states.
