This page covers the competition tires used in completed Formula DRIFT events, whose construction and short service life differ from street applications, rather than other GT Radial patterns and sizes. [4]

Is GT Radial tires made in China or the USA?

GT Radial has a documented US manufacturing operation within an international group. Neither all-USA nor all-China origin follows for the full range; the 2023 transfer plans also show that allocations can change. [1] [2] [3]

Same factory, different label

GT Radial and Dextero appear in the same US manufacturer record, and Giti officials describe both brands at the South Carolina operation. That supports a shared manufacturer relationship, without establishing identical designs or common factories for every size. [1] [2]

Where was your tire made?

A company address and a country of manufacture answer different questions. Start with your exact model.

  1. Read both sidewalls for the country-of-origin marking.
  2. Record the complete DOT tire identification number and date code.
  3. Check the specific size and production batch rather than another tire from the same brand.
