How to Know if a Tire is Union-Made
The U.S. Department of Transportation requires all tires sold in the United States carry a code which shows, among other things, the company and plant that made the tire. The code looks like this: DOT BE XX XXX XXX
The two symbols (either two letters or a letter and a number) which follow "DOT" indicate the company and the plant where a tire was manufactured. For example, the above code indicates a tire made by B. F. Goodrich in Tuscaloosa, AL.
Here is a list of all U.S. and Canadian unionized tire plants and their DOT codes. By comparing this list to the code on the tire you are buying, you can be certain you are getting a tire made by the United Steelworkers (USW).
In addition to company brands, these codes also appear on "Associate Brand" and "Private Brand" tires. The key to making sure you're getting a USW-made tire is the DOT code.
If you buy Goodyear union-made tires, make sure to use your Union Plus Goodyear benefit. You'll save 5%-10% off tires, as well as auto service, parts and maintenance.

IATSE Member Wins Union Plus' Labor Day Sweepstakes
International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) member Joseph D’Antonio of Pasadena, MD, is one of two lucky $5,000 winners of the Union Plus “What Kind of Union Car Are You?” Labor Day Sweepstakes.
In order to enter to win the contest, nearly 25,000 entrants completed a short quiz, which revealed their union-made car model personality type. Fortunately for D’Antonio, the odds were in his favor.
D’Antonio recalled his shock learning he had won $5,000 just for taking the car personality-type quiz.
“Yeah, it was pretty big, and I didn’t believe I had won at first. Union Plus is definitely a very beneficial resource to have. And on top of that, they have a contest that union members ‘actually’ can win!” he laughed.
D’Antonio found out about the sweepstakes when he came across it while browsing for discounts on the UnionPlus.org website. He’s an all-things-union aficionado who is enrolled in several Union Plus benefits programs. One of his favorite programs are the downloadable Goodyear tires and services coupons available on the Union Plus website.
Of the hundreds of union-made vehicles, he learned the model that suits his personality type most is actually a Cadillac CTS, which doesn’t entirely surprise him.
“Cadillacs are one of my favorite cars in the first place, so it worked out perfectly. I think they’re very stylish, sophisticated, and upscale. My very first car was a Cadillac, and that car seems to suit me pretty well,” D’Antonio says.
D’Antonio says he plans to put the money toward paying off his car. He would like to trade it in for a new one eventually, and will definitely take advantage of the Union Plus Auto-Buying Program, which offers special rebates and savings to eligible union members.
The prize money for this contest was provided by TrueCar, the provider of the Union Plus Auto Buying Service. Union members looking for a great deal on a vehicle save an average of $3,279 off MSRP and receive special rebates for buying union-made. Click here to learn more!
