Cooper Tires

Cooper tires are part of Goodyear, which bought Cooper Tire & Rubber in 2021; production spans a manufacturing network rather than one country or factory.

Evidence: [1][3]

Text version of the map

Who owns Cooper Tires?

Goodyear announced the transaction on February 22, 2021 at approximately $2.5 billion enterprise value and completed it on June 7. Cooper is therefore a Goodyear-owned brand; the US headquarters do not make every Cooper tire American-made. [1][2]

Who actually makes Cooper Tires products?

Goodyear’s 2025 report continues to identify Cooper-branded tires in its business. A brand and a manufacturing organization are not the same as one physical plant: the exact tire model, size and production run determine which factory record is relevant. [3]

Where are Cooper Tires products made?

Cooper’s historical investor presentation identifies Findlay and Texarkana as manufacturing locations. Goodyear’s 2025 report still describes both sites. These are selected US network examples, not a current assignment of every Cooper tire to those plants. [3][4]

Is Cooper Tires made in China or the USA?

Cooper has documented US manufacturing sites, but it is unsafe to assume every Cooper tire is US-made. This review does not confirm China-origin production for a particular current Cooper model; that requires tire-specific evidence. [3][4]

Same factory, different label

Goodyear and Cooper share a corporate group after the 2021 transaction. The acquisition combined their portfolios, but it did not establish that a Cooper tire and a Goodyear tire have identical compounds, specifications or assembly lines. [1]
