Bridgestone History

Bridgestone traces its roots all the way back to April 9th, 1930, when the very first Bridgestone tire was produced. Founder Shojiro Ishibashi used funds from his rubber shoe business in Kureme, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, to open his own tire shop.

The company continued to grow from this point, both domestically and internationally. One of their first international plants opened in Singapore in 1965, continuing to open more international plants as the decade progressed, eventually making their way to America in 1967 with the Bridgestone Tire Company of America.

In more recent decades, Firestone Tire & Rubber Company joined the Bridgestone brand to further expand resources and connections. These names have become more commonplace at motorsport racing events and improved tire design in an effort to continuously provide useful products for drivers around the world.

Innovation

Bridgestone Tires engineers strive to improve the tires you invest in in order to provide safety and efficiency first. They provide tires for a wide range of products to meet your needs as a commuter.

This includes tire data for fleet managers, focusing on maximizing uptime. Run-flat tire technology allows you to drive up to 50 miles after a puncture and searching for different tire materials that can provide different benefits to drivers.

Sustainability

Bridgestone also joins the effort to improve sustainability. They enforce an ongoing search for more renewable and natural sources of rubber and have tested out the growing market of “air-free” tires, built using non-pneumatic technology. You can also look into their hydrogen hose which allows for high-pressure filling of hydrogen fuel, one of the latest additions to the growing number of more sustainable fuel sources. We all have to share the planet, so it’s going to take all of us to clean it up, which is why Bridgestone is committed to helping improve the environment.

What to Know About Tires

You might not always think about your tires, but they’re certainly hard to ignore when they fail. Not only are they the key to keeping your vehicle mobile and headed in the right direction, but they also provide support and a certain amount of shock absorbance.

Understanding this can help you figure out what the ideal tire is for you. Sure, you need to be able to get from one place to the next, but in our region, you might also want to look at tires that handle well in the snow and slush. Or, if you spend a great deal of time driving around, the focus may be on wear life. Keep these points in mind as you search through Bridgestone tire options.
