This page covers the listed sizes made April 11–24, 2004 with BF1504/BF1604 DOT marks, rather than Uniroyal’s current worldwide manufacturing or licensing arrangements. [4]

Who owns Uniroyal tires?

Uniroyal’s regional rights need separate treatment. Continental reports that Michelin contributed European rights to MC Projects B.V., owned 50/50 by Michelin and Continental, which licenses those rights to Continental. The US federal notice identifies Michelin North America for the listed Laredo tires. [1] [2]

Who actually makes Uniroyal tires?

Michelin Tire North America made the Uniroyal Laredo tires identified in the October 2004 recall report. The named sizes and April 11–24 production window bound the finding; current licensing and production arrangements require separate records. [4]

Is Uniroyal tires made in China or the USA?

Neither a French or German corporate connection nor a US-market product establishes assembly country. An all-USA or all-China origin for Uniroyal tires is not public in the reviewed sources in this review. [1] [2] [3]

Same factory, different label

A shared rights-holding venture does not make Michelin and Continental tires identical. Regional licensing, physical manufacture and model specifications are distinct; the reviewed records do not establish identical production across markets. [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.
