Firestone tires

Firestone History 

Firestone is a tire manufacturer founded back in 1900, in Akron, Ohio, which is well-renowned for its quality, reliable and affordable tires. In 1988 the Firestone was bought by the Japanese brand Bridgestone. Currently, Firestone continues to operate as a subsidiary of Bridgestone. 

An important part of Firestone’s history is its connection with the Ford Motor Company. The company’s founder, Harvey Firestone, developed a close friendship with Henry Ford, which helped establish Firestone as the original equipment supplier for Ford vehicles. Today, Firestone manufactures a broad selection of tires for passenger cars, SUVs, and trucks.

To cover the maximum part of the market, Firestone creates tires to fulfill several different consumer needs: 

  • All-Season Tires: Designed to provide a balanced performance in various weather conditions, including wet and dry roads, making them ideal for year-round use.

  • All-Weather Tires: Offering enhanced performance in snowy or icy conditions while retaining the versatility of all-season tires.

  • Touring Tires: Delivering a smooth, comfortable ride with reduced road noise, perfect for long-distance travel and everyday driving.

  • Ultra-High-Performance Tires: Engineered for sports cars and performance-oriented vehicles, these tires offer excellent handling, traction, and stability at higher speeds.

  • Off-Road Tires: Built to tackle rugged terrains with advanced tread designs that provide superior grip and durability for off-road adventures.

  • All-Terrain Tires: Versatile tires that combine the durability of off-road models with the comfort of on-road tires, suitable for those who need both on-road comfort and off-road capability.
