This page covers the tires discussed in NHTSA’s 2017 decision, whose inboard sides incorrectly retained a Findlay plant code after a mold transfer, rather than all current Mastercraft patterns. [4]

Is Mastercraft 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 mastercraft tires?

Cooper Tire & Rubber made the Mastercraft Courser HSX Tour 275/55R20 tires discussed in NHTSA’s 2017 decision. The affected mold ran March 6–15, 2017; this is not a supplier assignment for all current Mastercraft patterns. Texarkana is the documented production facility for those March 2017 tires. The inboard side incorrectly retained the Findlay plant code after a mold transfer; a single erroneous code must not be treated as proof of Findlay manufacture. [4]

Who owns mastercraft 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]
