Discount Bridgestone Tires: Truck, Carand SUV

Bridgestone tires are known worldwide for their durability, smooth ride, and excellent handling characteristics. They help the world's population move on car tires, truck tires, and even semi or tractor tires. Bridgestone tires are made of the highest quality materials using the best research, engineering and technology, making them second to none among tire manufacturers today.

The Bridgestone Corporation is a Japanese success story. The company was founded in 1931 by Japanese shoe maker Shojiro Ishibashi. Mr. Ishibashi greatly admired the Canadian tire manufacturer Firestone, so he used Firestone as a corporate model. The name Bridgestone comes from Ishibashi, which in Japanese means Stonebridge. Mr. Ishibashi reversed the words in his last name because he liked the sound of Bridgestone better. Bridgestone tires competed with Firestone for many years before buying out the Canadian tire giant in 1988, becoming the global Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. in 1990. Today it is the largest rubber and tire company in the world.

Bridgestone tires are manufactured for all uses including performance, touring, passenger, winter, light/medium trucks, and specialty tires. Bridgestone tires are one of two tire manufacturers used on Formula One racing cars and are used by world champion, Ferrari. Bridgestone tires are also available in specialty varieties for law enforcement vehicles that require excellent performance and handling in high speed situations. Bridgestone tires for medium pick-up trucks cost about $140 - $160 per tire, while car tires for a light economy coupe cost around $50 – $80 per tire depending on the model chosen.

Car tires, truck tires, and SUV tires are made for every vehicle from a hybrid or light pickup truck to a dual wheeled heavy pick-up truck. Bridgestone tires made for light and medium trucks offer fifty two different tire options. The company incorporates state-of-the-art technology in the design and manufacture of their tires entitled UNI-T® (Ultimate Tire technology). UNI-T® incorporates CO-CS® (Computer Optimized-Component System), a computer design system that ensures tires are designed specifically for each vehicle, O-Bead® cable design that enhances tire fit on the rim, and Long Link Carbon® materials that increases durability, ride, and reliability. High quality Bridgestone tires are also available as discount tires through large wholesale companies.

Drivers around the world roll safely toward the finish line at the Indy 500 and toward the supermarket on Bridgestone tires. Soccer Moms in SUV's and contractors in heavy dual wheeled pickup trucks count on Bridgestone tires to get them where they need to go with comfort and reliability. Bridgestone tires are the result of a long, proud tradition of producing excellent tires for a world on the move.
