Firestone has several tires that they now imported under the
Firestone umbrella. They do not make them.
I was looking at Primewell Tires for the daily driver.
I found this by do a search.:
"These tires are made for the Firestone Company and its affiliated stores; they are the main licensed dealers in the United States. Primewells are, in fact, mainly made for the Firestone Company.
Most are made by The Giti Company. Their headquarters are located in Singapore, and their manufacturing is based primarily in Shanghai, China. Their products are sold in over 100 countries worldwide, with sales operations in 13 different countries. They have been ranked as the 14th and 9th best tire company worldwide in separate publications".
China owns major interests in several tire manufacturers now.
Such as this press release:
"A subsidiary of chemical, rubber and tire giant China National Chemical Corp. will make a takeover bid for Italian tire-maker Pirelli SpA, agreeing on Sunday to purchase the stake of Pirelli’s largest shareholder, according to reports from the New York Times and Reuters.
The deal, which is expected to close during the summer, will give the ChemChina subsidiary, China National Tire and Rubber Co., access to Pirelli’s technology and expand Pirelli’s presence in China".
