USTMA November 2025 Forecast Predicts Slightly Higher 2025 Tire Shipments for U.S. Tire Market
December 2, 2025
WASHINGTON, December 2, 2025 - The U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) projects total U.S. tire shipments of 337.4 million units in 2025, compared to 337.3 million units in 2024 and 332.7 million units in 2019. This surpasses the previous record of 337.3 million units in 2024.
Because the U.S. government shutdown delayed the release of August and September tire trade data, the current forecast is produced without these inputs and may therefore contain higher-than-usual estimation errors for U.S. replacement shipments.
Compared with 2024, Original Equipment (OE) shipments for passenger, light truck and truck tires are expected to change by -3.5%, -3.7%, and -18.1% respectively, with a total decrease of 2.8 million units. Replacement passenger, light truck and truck tire shipments are also projected to change by 0.0%, 2.9%, and 7.9% respectively, with a total increase of 3.0 million units.
