is bridgestone and firestone the same company?

This would make me think they are

With all that cash you were showing off you should get some Michelins lol ......and pay cash!

PS....Stock up on cool aid too!

 

I've hauled both types out of the Bloomington IL plant, so I would say yes.

 

Bridgestone owns Firestone.
Goodyear owns Kelly.
Continental owns General.

 

If Goodyear and Goodrich got together and bought out Bridgestone/Firestone, they could just have one brand "Goodstone".

 

Not so fast. We had huge Mich discount at Malone but I couldn't get BFGs through them. Mich owns BFG, same casing on both tires, made in same factory.

So I wouldn't assume yes.

 

Goodyear owns Dunlop as well

LOL sounds like one of those Chinese ripoff brands

EDIT: it actually is......

Bridgestone, Firestone and Dayton truck tires are Bridgestone brands. However, Bridgestone Commercial Solution’s national account customers can only purchase Bridgestone products through their program. Firestone and Dayton products are only available on a retail basis through an authorized Bridgestone retailer and on a select few other programs (government and used truck programs as examples).

You may use the dealer locator link, b.e.n. (Bridgestone Everywhere Network) at www.notifyben.com, which will allow you to search by location. Each dealer returned in the search also shows the products offered and services available.

Hope that helps!
