Almost no tires are made in the US anymore. Tires made overseas still have to meet DOT regulations for use in the US though. In size ST225/75-15 I recommend radial tires since you are traveling long distance.

Radial tires track better and run cooler than bias ply tires. For a load range C, rated for 2,150 pounds at 50 psi, use # AM10251. For a load range D, rated for 2,540 pounds at 65 psi use # TTWTRTM2257515D. And for a load range E, rated for 2,830 pounds at 80 psi use # AM10303.
