Atturo Tire Corporation was founded in 2009 in Waukegan, Illinois as a value brand for pickups, Jeeps and SUVs. The tires are manufactured in Taiwan and Thailand to Atturo's own designs, and the company is known for the Trail Blade series, whose tread was co-designed with the knife maker CRKT and shows a distinctive blade-inspired pattern.
The Trail Blade family is the core of the lineup. The Trail Blade X/T is a hybrid between all-terrain and mud-terrain that competes with the Nitto Ridge Grappler for far less money, the Trail Blade A/T is the true all-terrain, and the Trail Blade M/T is the mud-terrain. For crossovers and SUVs, the AZ610 is a highway tire, the AZ800 is an all-season for large rims and the AZ850 is a performance tire for SUVs on 20-inch and larger wheels.
Prices land between the pure budget imports and the mid-tier Japanese brands. Warranties are modest: 50,000 miles on the Trail Blade A/T and X/T, 40,000 on the AZ line and none on the mud-terrains. The honest limitations are road noise on the hybrid and mud tires, wet braking that trails Falken and Toyo, and a small dealer network for warranty claims.

Atturo as a company
Atturo is a US brand run from Waukegan, Illinois, where it also keeps its warehouse, and it sells through independent tire dealers, regional wholesalers and online retailers rather than company stores. Every tire is imported, chiefly from contract plants in Thailand and Taiwan with a smaller number from China. Its US visibility comes from the Jeep, truck and UTV aftermarket, off-road events and its dealer programs.
Atturo Tire Corporation is privately held and independent of any tire group, and publishes no revenue, profit, margin or employee figures, so those are null. It is a brand owner, not a manufacturer, so plant counts and production volumes are zero or null. The 2009 founding year and the Waukegan headquarters are well attested in trade and business sources, but no official Atturo corporate page could be retrieved because the site blocks automated fetching. The specific contract manufacturer is not officially confirmed, so only the countries of manufacture are stated here.

Atturo tires: common questions
Where are Atturo tires made?
Atturo is headquartered in Waukegan, Illinois and has its tires manufactured in Taiwan and Thailand to its own designs and specifications. The country of origin is molded on the sidewall.
Are Atturo tires good?
They are a solid step above the cheapest imports and a step below the mid-tier Japanese brands. Off-road traction and looks earn strong owner reviews, especially the Trail Blade X/T. Wet braking, noise and tread life trail Falken, Toyo and Cooper. For a truck that mixes trails and pavement on a budget, they are a reasonable buy.
Is the Atturo Trail Blade X/T like the Nitto Ridge Grappler?
They are the same category: hybrid tires between all-terrain and mud-terrain. The Trail Blade X/T costs considerably less and carries a 50,000-mile warranty, which the Ridge Grappler lacks. The Nitto is quieter, grips better in the wet and has a bigger size range. If budget matters, the Atturo is a good alternative.
