Description

Founded in 1931 by Shojiro Ishibashi, Bridgestone or "Stone Bridge" (direct translation from Japanese) was created in Japan. In the 1930's, Japan slowly started producing automobiles, and in 1932 Bridgestone became the first tire manufacturing company to offer tires nationally. By 1983 Bridgestone purchased a tire plant in La Vergne, Tennessee, from Firestone Tire & Rubber. In the twenty first century, Bridgestone became one of the "Big Three" tire companies in the United States. Bridgestone now sells tires to six continents throughout the world.

FireHawk GT with UNI-T was created by Firestone to compete in the Performance Tire Market. This tire has a unique wide footprint that improves the way the tire handles corners. An Asymmetric Pattern provides optimal performance in various conditions based on a tread pattern that varies for shoulder to shoulder. Silica was incorporated in the FireHawk to improve traction on wet road surfaces by increasing flexibility of the tread compound. To reduce road noise, Firestone injected their signature Veri-Pitch.
