I would say Michelin as they seem to manufacture a very wide range across various industries. But it'd say that Goodyear or Bridgestone won't be that far off.

Bridgestone claim to be the biggest tyre manufacturer worldwide based on sales. Dunno if its true. they certainly second if not first.

Would have thought Bridgestone too, look at the amount they use for Formula 1 cars!! Must keep a few factories busy alone.

LMAO!

What-u-talkin'-bout-Willis?

I used to work for Lego - I can confirm that they make some savage wheel packages at very affordable prices.
It's just that - I've never really been that fond of their thread pattern ;-)
