Who makes it
Supplier companies
4 companies produce motorcycle tires & tubes.
Bridgestone Corporation(5108.T)
HQ JP
Japanese tire conglomerate (TYO: 5108); world's largest tire company by revenue. Agricultural segment: Firestone Ag brand (acquired with Firestone 1988) + Bridgestone ag tires. Primary North American ag tire facility: Des Moines, Iowa (established 1945, "largest farm tire manufacturing facility in the world," 1,400 employees, $77M expansion 2016). DISRUPTION: June 2024, Bridgestone laid off 118 workers (revised to 89) citing 18% YoY decline in North American ag tire demand and 15% global decline; January 2025 additional voluntary separation program at Des Moines. Also a top-3 rubber track manufacturer: confirmed OEM to Kubota, Yanmar, Takeuchi, Case. Also produces non-ag tires across passenger, truck, and specialty markets. Higher natural rubber production costs cited as compounding factor alongside demand decline.
