Who owns Yokohama Tires?

Yokohama’s dated disclosures identify a Japanese parent and US manufacturing subsidiary. A Japanese brand can have US production; ownership country and tire origin answer different questions. [1][3]

Who actually makes Yokohama Tires products?

YTMM produces radial truck and bus tires. Its site disclosure covers 2024 operations at 1 Yokohama Boulevard in West Point; that scope does not mean every Yokohama passenger tire is made there. [2]

Where are Yokohama Tires products made?

The Mississippi factory began operations in October 2015. Yokohama announced an earlier-than-originally-considered Salem closure for March 18, 2026, so Salem should no longer appear as an operating plant in an undated factory list. [1][3]

Is Yokohama Tires made in China or the USA?

US truck/bus tire production is confirmed at West Point. These three sources do not allocate every passenger tire sold in the US to a US, Japanese or Chinese plant. [2][3]

Same factory, different label

A Yokohama parent/subsidiary relationship establishes who operates the documented plant. It does not establish that another tire brand is the same product under a different label. [1][2]
