Brand guide
Bridgestone-group brand with over a century of history: dependable touring, truck, all-weather and winter tires at mid-range prices.
Firestone was founded in Akron, Ohio in 1900, supplied the tires for the very first Indianapolis 500 winner in 1911, and has been part of the Bridgestone group since 1988. That racing heritage lives on in the Firehawk name, while the modern lineup earns its keep on ordinary cars, minivans and pickups.
For Canadian drivers the sweet spot is the Destination family on trucks and SUVs and WeatherGrip for all-weather use — Bridgestone engineering one price tier down. It is a strong answer when a Blizzak or Turanza quote runs past budget.
Firestone shares Bridgestone Canada's warranty manual (current edition effective January 1, 2024). Firestone's standard coverage is branded the "Gold Pledge" — and its terms are word-for-word the same as Bridgestone's Platinum Pact: 3 years free replacement, 5 years total, plus the 90-day Buy & Try trial.
Eligible Firestone tires (winter and temporary spares excepted) that fail from a workmanship or material defect are replaced free — including mounting and balancing — for the first 3 years from purchase, then prorated to year 5. Coverage ends at 2/32" (1.6 mm) remaining tread, and tires more than 10 years from manufacture are no longer eligible.
Same trial as Bridgestone: buy a set of 4 or more from a dealer, and within 90 days you can return them to the original store for an exchange credit toward a new Bridgestone or Firestone set. One set per vehicle per 12 months; excludes winter tires, factory-fitted tires and all Firestone run-flats.
Two different things, often confused: a treadwear (mileage) warranty is not the defect warranty, and it is not a promise the tire will last that far. It means that if the tread wears out evenly before the listed distance (with rotation records in order), the manufacturer credits the unused percentage toward a replacement — you still pay the rest. Manufacturing defects are covered separately by the defect warranty above, which has its own free-replacement window and total term.
| Product line | Treadwear warranty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Destination LE3 | 110,000 km | LT and flotation sizes: no mileage warranty |
| Champion Fuel Fighter | 110,000 km | |
| WeatherGrip | 105,000 km | All-weather (severe-snow rated) |
| Destination A/T2 | 90,000 km | |
| Destination X/T | 80,000 km | |
| Firehawk AS V2 | 80,000 km | |
| Transforce HT / AT (commercial) | — | No mileage warranty in commercial service; defect warranty still applies |
| Winterforce 2 (winter) | — | Winter tires carry no mileage warranty |
First thing to know: the warranty belongs to the manufacturer, not the store. Tires bought from us can be claimed at any authorized dealer of that brand anywhere in the country — if you move away, or something goes wrong on a road trip, you do not have to drive back to Markham for us to handle it. (Two notes: the satisfaction trial exchange is the exception, which the manufacturers require you to do at the original place of purchase; and warehouse chains such as Costco and Canadian Tire generally only process claims on tires they sold themselves, so call ahead — that is their store policy, not the warranty.)
No — the Canadian manual gives both brands identical terms: 3 years free replacement, 5 years prorated, and the same 90-day Buy & Try. Only the per-line mileage figures differ.
No. The 110,000 km figure applies to passenger sizes; LT and flotation sizes of the LE3 carry no mileage warranty.
No. Like all Bridgestone-group winter tires they have no mileage warranty and no free-replacement window — defect coverage is prorated only.
