Who makes Kelly tires?

Source: NHTSA UTQG tire ratings, equipment plant codes, and tire-recall file, last updated November 9, 2026 (UTC).

About this data

The filing company submitted the Part 573 report. That company is legally responsible for the recall. It may be the factory, an importer, or the brand owner. A row says "made by" only for that recalled line, and only when the report's manufacturer field names the filer and the filer's name reads as a tire or rubber company. Tireco, Harbor Freight Tools, TBC, and Discount Tire stay "recall filed by," including when the manufacturer field repeats their name. The filing does not cover the rest of the brand, and it does not cover a line that was never recalled. All tire filings since 2010. How the file is prepared.

Registered plants

These plant records are registered to a name that matches Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC, and Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. on the filings above. The plant list has no brand field. A match of the company name is not proof that the plant made Kelly tires or the recalled line. Status is the value stored in vPIC, not a finding that the plant is operating.

Plant records whose registrant name matches a company named in the Kelly recall filings. The match is the company name. The record does not say the plant made Kelly tires.
