Tire market in the United States - facts & statistics

Tire market segments

Replacement passenger tires are the leading segment with shipments of over 220,000 units. The most commonly used tires around the world today can be categorized under the pneumatic segment: They contain or operate by air or gas under pressure. Their primary purposes are to provide traction between vehicles or bicycles with the road as well as shock absorption for impact.

Leading companies

Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. and Cooper Tire and Rubber Co. are among the key tire makers with headquarters in the United States. In light of globalization, tire manufacturers need not necessarily be located in the United States, though. Asia-headquartered Bridgestone is the leading manufacturer of tires in the world, while the world's second largest tire manufacture, Michelin, is based in Europe.
