The Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2057515C referenced in your question, along with the vast majority of trailer tires, are made in China or elsewhere offshore. However, these tires are produced using the same type of manufacturing equipment used domestically and are required to meet all of the same safety standards and D.O.T. specifications.

This particular Provider tire meets D.O.T. specifications and actually exceeds FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards).

The manufactured date code should be listed on the sidewall following "DOT". It'll be the last 4 digits of this sequence, representing the week and year it was made (0418 would mean the fourth week of 2018).
