To answer your question in short...No.
I spent quite a bit of time looking for American made tires for my "new" 75 Trade Wind I acquired about 2 months ago. After much research what I found was that Carlisle 7.00 x 15 tires are manufactured in China, as I contacted them directly asking your exact question. Goodyear Marathons are now made in America, however I was not able to find any American made versions where I'm located, they were all still Chinese stock. Denman have a good reputation, and I think are still made in America, however I could only find 2 (225/75/R15) available now, had to wait one month+ to get the other two I needed.
I ended up purchasing Maxxis (225/75/R15 "D" rated) that are made in Thailand. I went with Maxxis due to a fair price, availability, and really good forum user's experience. My next tires will be GYM if still made in USA, unless I have good results with the Maxxis tires and they are made in USA by that time. I hope the 35% tariff will cause tire manufactures to come back to the US, unfortunately it will probably just cause them to go elsewhere, not necessarily the US.
