Who Really Makes It

Store & house-brand tires: who really makes it

Tire makers must file a federal recall report with NHTSA when a tire is defective, and the report names the company that filed it plus every brand and model affected. That makes store-brand tires one of the easiest store brands to trace. Units shown are for the whole recall, across every brand on it.
