Firestone Tire and Rubber Company is an American tire company founded by Harvey S. Firestone (1868–1938) in 1900 initially to supply solid rubber side-wire tires [2] for fire apparatus, [3] and later, pneumatic tires for wagons, buggies, and other forms of wheeled transportation common in the era.
The first Bridgestone tire was produced on 9 April 1930, by the Japanese "Tabi" Socks Tire Division (actually made jika-tabi). One year later on 1 March 1931, the founder, Shojiro Ishibashi , made the "Tabi" Socks Tire Division independent and established the Bridgestone Tire Co., Ltd. [ 9 ] in the city of Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture.
