Is Blizzak tires made in China or the USA?

The cited Blizzak 6 batch was manufactured in Hungary. Bridgestone’s Japanese ownership and international factory network do not establish Japan, China or the USA as the origin of every Blizzak tire. [1] [2]

Same factory, different label

Blizzak 6 and Blizzak LM005 are distinct Bridgestone products: the March 2025 notice directs owners of affected Blizzak 6 tires to exchange them for correctly certified LM005 tires. It does not describe the two models as identical. [1]

Where was your tire made?

A company address and a country of manufacture answer different questions. Start with your exact model.

  1. Read both sidewalls for the country-of-origin marking.
  2. Record the complete DOT tire identification number and date code.
  3. Check the specific size and production batch rather than another tire from the same brand.
