Specialty Tires expanding at Pennsylvania plant

Specialty Tires of America is investing $1.5 million over three years to modernize and upgrade its tire plant in Indiana, Pennsylvania for expanded radial tire capacity. During the project, Specialty Tires will reconfigure 10,000 square feet of the plant to accommodate new equipment that will allow the company to expand its radial tire line and produce rubber-coated steel fabric for radial tires. Specialty Tires operates a second tire plant in Unicoi, Tennessee. The company manufactures radial and bias-ply light truck, aircraft, racing, farm, OTR, industrial and specialty tires at its two plants. It goes to market under a number of brand names, including the American Farmer, American Racer and numerous variations of the American and STA names.
