The most notable Canadian tire manufacturer is Michelin North America has plants in Nova Scotia, Canada, in Waterville, Pictou, and Bridgewater, making Michelin tires in Canada for North American market, employing thousands, so Michelin tires with DOT codes showing Canadian plants are Canadian made. Bridgestone has plant in Joliette, Quebec making Bridgestone and Firestone tires in Canada. Goodyear has plant in Napanee, Ontario making Goodyear tires. Canadian brand Motomaster tires sold at Canadian Tire stores are made by various manufacturers including Michelin and Cooper, some made in Canada. Also, there is Canadian company called Canadian Tire's own brand. Historically, BFGoodrich had plant in Kitchener. So yes, tires are made in Canada, particularly Michelin in Nova Scotia is largest, plus Bridgestone in Quebec and Goodyear in Ontario. When buying tires in Canada, check DOT code for plant, with Canadian plants coded with specific DOT plant codes starting with letter indicating Canada. Buying Canadian made tires supports local jobs.
