If anyone else is interested, the files containing the manufacturers'
codes are at the NHTSA FTP site:
ftp://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/manufacture/
They seem to be available in several files in text, and in MS Access,
all with some variant on "newtire" in the file name. I suppose one would
have to check file dates for the latest, but it's clear from this file
that, including recappers, there are a _lot_ more manufacturers than a
dozen or so.
Cheers.
