This page covers the week-3419 batch in bulletin 2022-09 and its deficient date marking, rather than the rest of Kelly’s catalog. [4]

Is Kelly tires made in China or the USA?

A US company or US warranty program is not an all-US manufacturing guarantee. The current warranty’s “Printed in U.S.A.” statement describes the booklet; current tire-country assignments require model-specific evidence. [1] [3]

Same factory, different label

Kelly, Mastercraft, Cooper and other tire brands appear within Goodyear’s business. The separate Cooper/Mastercraft/Starfire warranty also documents a shared group program, without proving identical tires or one factory for all these labels. [1] [2] [3]

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.

Questions people ask

Who makes kelly tires?

Goodyear made the Kelly Armorsteel KDM I 11R22.5 Load Range H tires covered by bulletin 2022-09, with DOT MJ3TK2BW3419. This identifies the historical tire batch rather than relying on the Kelly brand’s corporate ownership. Topeka, Kansas, is explicitly identified as the factory location for the week-3419 Kelly batch. Only the specified tires with the deficient date marking were recalled; the bulletin does not map the rest of Kelly’s catalog. [4]

Who owns kelly tires?

Goodyear is the company behind this tire business. Its FY2025 report identifies the brand in its portfolio, and the completed Cooper acquisition explains the wider group relationship without making Cooper a separate outside parent. [1] [2]
