Yes, some Firestone tires are made in Canada at Bridgestone Canada plant in Joliette, Quebec, which is only Bridgestone tire manufacturing facility in Canada and produces both Bridgestone and Firestone branded tires for Canadian and US markets. The Joliette plant, located about 50 miles northeast of Montreal at 4845 Rue des Seigneurs, Joliette, Quebec, has operated since 1966 and produces passenger, light truck, and commercial tires, with capacity of several million tires per year and about 1,000 employees. Firestone tires made there include popular models like Destination, Firehawk, and Transforce lines, with Made in Canada on sidewall and DOT code indicating Canadian plant. However, not all Firestone tires sold in Canada are made in Canada, many are imported from US plants in Wilson, North Carolina, Des Moines, Iowa, and other US factories, as well as Mexico, due to North American free trade and supply chain. Historically, Firestone had plant in Hamilton, Ontario that closed in 1988 after Bridgestone acquisition, consolidating Canadian production to Joliette. So yes, Firestone tires are made in Canada at Joliette, Quebec plant, which is major Canadian tire manufacturing site, but many Firestone tires in Canada are also Made in USA. Check tire sidewall for DOT plant code to see origin, with Canadian-made Firestones supporting local jobs and meeting quality standards under Bridgestone ownership since 1988.
