This page does not identify a precise factory because the report inconsistently uses KA and K3 plant codes; American Kenda is the US reporting company. [4]

Is Kenda tires made in China or the USA?

Kenda has documented Vietnamese, Chinese and Indonesian manufacturing entities. Taiwan incorporation does not make every tire Taiwan-made; US trading, distribution or rim operations do not establish US tire assembly. [1] [2] [3]

Same factory, different label

The Vietnam registration lists multiple trade brands. That supports the named manufacturer’s role, but does not prove identical tires or that every size of every listed brand is produced at the same plant. [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.
