Where are Milestar Tires Made?

Milestar is a relatively niche tire brand that you probably haven’t heard of… which is why you’re asking yourself: where are Milestar tires made?

For starters, most are not made in America. In fact, not a lot of tires are any more. Although if you are looking for made-in-America tires, check out our list here.

The vast majority of Milestar tires are manufactured in two plants in Taiwan. Milestar tires are a sub-brand of Nankang Tires, which is headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan. The brand has been manufacturing tires since 1959.

With two facilities in Nankang (the city, not the tire) and Hsinfung in Taiwan, Nankang (the tire manufacturer) has been manufacturing tires since 2003 at its mainland China facility in Jiangsu.

In addition to truck, SUV and passenger car tires, Milestar also manufactures and distributes tires for ATVs and UTVs.

In America, Milestar tires are distributed by TIRECO, which also handles Nankang’s other sub-brands including Westlake, Geostar and Provato. TIRECO has been selling Nankang tires, as well as wheels and other products, in the US since 1972.

Nankang employs roughly 1,200 employees with annual revenues around $300 million.

With the introduction of the new WeatherGuard AS710 tire Milestar began is first US tire production. Designed for passenger cars and crossovers, the WeatherGuard lineup consists of 59 different fitments in 15- to 20-inch sizes.

      Hard to believe someone would be so ignorant as to post the stupidity to a website. Bet the dunce doesnt' know or understand who Stalin, Lenin, Mao, or Hitler are either. With people like this publishing this Stupidity we are bound to have a repeat of the Holocaust.
