Bridgestone Americas is descended from two renowned companies: the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, founded in August 1900 in Akron, Ohio, by Harvey Firestone, and the Bridgestone Tire Company Ltd., founded in Japan in 1931 by Shojiro Ishibashi.
Bridgestone Corporation purchased Firestone in 1988, combining the two companies’ operations to form the world’s largest tire and rubber company. Bridgestone Americas established its headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1992 as part of its integration with Bridgestone’s existing U.S. operations.
Bridgestone Americas is now an international family of businesses with over 50 manufacturing facilities and over 55,000 employees across the Americas.
Bridgestone is dedicated to remaining a global leader in tire technology. We provide world-class service, and being an outstanding corporate citizen in the communities where we live and work. Bridgestone’s culture and mission are still rooted in the words of founder Shojiro Ishibashi, who stated that the company is committed to “serving society with superior quality.”
Bridgestone is deeply invested in tire quality improvement and conducts regular experiments. Bridgestone, a multinational corporation, has dedicated quality control processes to ensure high-quality tires.
Every Bridgestone customer has two options for limited warranties on their tires. The first is a three-year guarantee plan. The second is a three-year plan with a 65,000 km validity period.
Unlike luxury tire brands such as Michelin and Pirelli, Bridgestone offers tires at a lower cost without sacrificing quality.
The tires are worth the money because they last longer than cheap tires and perform well on all terrains.
Bridgestone is committed to sustainability, and between 2005 and 2018, the tire’s rolling resistance was reduced by 21%. As a result, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions decreased, benefiting the environment. The tires are also lighter, which reduces the amount of material used in production.
Bridgestone Tires can be classified as under:
Our fuel-efficient tires feature nanoparticle technology that protects against excessive heating and a low-rolling resistance quality that provides excellent fuel economy. Straight main grooves mobilize efficient water dispersal from beneath while improving wet grips. The tire provides excellent control and handling thanks to O-Bead integrated technology.
The tire tread pattern has been specifically optimized to improve road grip while also improving braking and cornering capabilities. There are also high void grip adaptations and micro adaptive compounds ideal for wet and dry grips, paving the way for a comfortable and cozy ride.
A strong grip on dry and wet roads is required for off-road wheels. In addition, other factors we’ve considered are puncture resistance, vehicle load ratings, off-road grips, and more.

There is a lot of grip in the vertices and corners, which are very responsive to steering wheel inputs. The braking distance and speed stability are outstanding. The noise level is extremely low to zero, irrespective of driving speed.
Bridgestone’s reliable passenger tires feature wide shoulder grooves for excellent dry handling, high and low-angle slots for efficient wet and dry handling, and ply control on sidewalls for resistance over rough roads.
