All the D.O.T. Tire Plant Codes

Here are the latest tire codes, from the NHTSA Manufacturer Database which was last updated on 03NOV09. Because of the length of the list, now including 895 tire manufacturers, the list has been divided into eight (8) segments of approximately 111 codes per page. Please note, the numeral zero 0 as compared to the letter O. When I made these lists I sorted them from 0-99 and then A to Z, starting with code zero one (01) and following through to Code YY, as referenced in the links above.

While I have made an effort to be accurate, I make NO WARRANTY as to the completeness or accuracy of these lists (see update below).
Visitors may also visit the NHTSA Data Base Look-up feature at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/manufacture/index.html. At this link
visitors may also look up various autoparts and Retread Tire Plants (over 5000!) by code number.

Update 2/20/11 - I received an email from a fellow who sent the following, alleging the tire codes are out of date. The list is current, but as one would expect, a number of plants over the years have been closed, assets sold off, etc. But, the Tire Plant Codes remain as an item of historical interest , and someone with an old tire code could still find it here. The list is maintained by NHTSA, I only put it in a format which people can use. The gentleman indicated the following, which is of interest (edited for brevity): "Mohawk plants, Helena, AK, and Akron OH, closed in 1986; Hurtubies, Buffallo, NY, closed 20 years ago; Dunlop Plants, all sold to Continental, and all USA plants closed, machinery moved or sold; Armstrong Plants, Natchez MS, Closed 20 years ago, bought by Titan Rubber, Machinery sold to Luana, Angola, Africa; Armstrong plants in Des Moines, IA, bought by Titan Rubber; Seiberling Plants, sold to Firestone in 1982, closed 4 years later, machinery where sold piece meal; B.F.Goodrich Plant Akron OH, closed; B.F.Goodrich plant Sumare, Campinas Brazil, closed; B.F.Goodrich Miami, Oklahoma, plant closed about 1986; Firestone plant Akron, OH, Closed; General Tire plants, Akron, OH, Closed; General tire plant Mayfield Kentuky, sold to Continental, closed in 1998; and many many more closed plants."

Notice: I do not look up Tire Company addresses because people keep asking me to look up tire companies for entire countries or regions. Please join one of the paid associations for this service, or try an interenet search.

About Tire Recapper Plant Codes: There are over 5,000 Tire Recap Plant Codes. This would make for a whole lot of pages to go through. So, to keep things simple, I have put the entire file online as an Excel 97 Spreadsheet. Depending on your browser this will either open in Microsoft Office Excel, or in your web browser. If desired, it can also be saved to your computer where you can examine it at your leisure. Like the tire codes, I cannot vouch for the current state of businesses listed, as this database is maintained by NHTSA,

Previously there were 664 plants listed. As of 03NOV09 there are 895 plants listed in these tables.
( RE-VERIFIED 09/30/2010 - There were apparently a few code corrections, so all pages have all been updated!)
