The Firestone Tire and Rubber Company was founded in 1900 by Harvey Firestone in the rubber capital of the world—Akron, Ohio. Harvey Firestone recognized the overwhelming potential for automobile tires, so he started mass producing them. Firestone started with only 12 employees, so the company understands the importance of the individual. Every driver wants something different—and Firestone is prepared to give it to them.
Firestone became the original equipment supplier to Ford Motor Company for the Model T in 1906, and Firestone continued producing tires for the replacement market, which kept the business growing until 1988. In 1988, Firestone was purchased by Bridgestone Tire Company, and is still owned by Bridgestone today.

Smart Tires for Smart Drivers
Highway Tire Inc carries a selection of General tires for customers in Caribou, ME, Presque Isle, ME, Grand Falls, NB, and surrounding areas. We are committed to locating the right set of tires to match the individual driving needs of every customer.
The General Tire and Rubber Company was founded in 1915 by William O’Neil and Winfred E. Fouse in Akron, Ohio, the rubber capital of the world. General Tire entered a booming market with over 300 competitors, so O’Neil and Fouse bypassed the original equipment (OE) market and moved straight on to focus on producing a quality replacement tire.
An early tire that General Tire released was the General Balloon Jumbo, a pneumatic truck tire that required only 12 pounds of air pressure. In 1955, General Tire entered the passenger car OE tire market as the tire supplier for General Motors.
