Yes, Firestone tires are made in the USA, though Firestone is global brand with factories worldwide, with significant US manufacturing. Firestone Tire and Rubber Company was founded in 1900 in Akron, Ohio by Harvey Firestone, and historically made all tires in USA. Today, Firestone is owned by Bridgestone Americas, subsidiary of Bridgestone Corporation of Japan since 1988 acquisition, but maintains several US tire plants. Firestone tires for US market are made in plants like Wilson, North Carolina, Des Moines, Iowa, La Vergne, Tennessee, and Warren County, Tennessee, which produce passenger, light truck, and commercial tires. Some Firestone tires are also made in other countries like Canada, Mexico, and Japan for global market. For Canadian market, some Firestone tires are made in Joliette, Quebec plant. Firestone Building Products roofing is also made in USA. Firestone Complete Auto Care is US chain. So Firestone is American brand with American manufacturing heritage, though parent company is Japanese Bridgestone, but tires sold in USA are largely made in USA plants, with Made in USA label on many models. So yes, Firestone is made in USA, with several US factories producing millions of tires annually, maintaining American manufacturing base despite Japanese ownership, and is considered American tire brand with US production.
