Good money for a college punk.lol I worked there in '94 - '96. I worked in the banburys, hot and dirty. I'm not surprised what happened out there as I couldn't believe the unproductive garbage some of the help got away with under union protection. I know I wouldn't have wanted to employ probably 1/3 of the work force I encountered if it was my business. Dan [Reply]  [No Email]

I've bought Titans, Firestones, and American Farmers, and all said Made in USA right on them. Not many newer cars in the parking lot... -Andy [Reply]  [No Email]

(last I knew anyways) I'm not sure about Titan. As far as I know Cooper is the ONLY american tire company left that makes tires in america. [Reply]  [No Email]

I believe the tires are 5.00 X 15 in size in the tri-rib design, Hal. [Reply]  [No Email]

I was talking to a tire/parts jockey and he says his small (13.6-38 type) Firestone tires are made in Vietnam. He said they come with a sticker that says Made in Vietnam overtop of the molded in Made in USA. He said a guy didn't believe him one time so they walked out to the shed and uncrated and unwrapped a brand new tire. The customer was a believer after that. [Reply]  [No Email]

Then it got sold to I think somebody from Iowa and it's just kinda hanging on now like the rest of Freeport. [Reply]  [No Email]
