What does the word “Firestone” make you think of? If you're visiting this site, you'll certainly say "tyres", and rightly so. Yet, these tyres aren't so ordinary; these are exceptionally refined products that, over the years, have been designed with security and reliability in mind. Firestone tyres inspire future generations of drivers on the roads and racetracks.
Did you know that Firestone has long been active in the field of motorsports? From its first years in the tyre sector, this brand has participated in the Indianapolis 500 race. To date, nothing has changed. It is worth noting that the racetrack is the best testing ground for tyres. Experience gained in the toughest races allows you to design and produce better tyres that ensure control of the car in different road conditions. Firestone tyres mean not only a high level of security, but also excellent value for money (the brand ranks in the middle market segment).
Firestone has a very wide range of products ranging from winter tyres, summer tyres and all-season tyres, including for lorries and delivery vans, to specialised agricultural tyres. This brand's tyres are valued very highly by customers and rank highly in tests conducted by leading automobile clubs and automotive magazines.
Interesting facts:
Akron is an American city commonly referred to as the capital of the tyre industry. It is here that brands such as BFGoodrich, Goodyear and Firestone were created. Firestone was founded in 1900 and still remains one of the most popular brands in the world.
The brand's founder, Harvey Firestone, was a very respectable figure. His closest friends were Henry Ford and Thomas Edison. They were called the "Millionaires' Club" because they were friends, spent family holidays together and sometimes jointly multiplied their fortunes (Firestone was a tyre supplier for Ford for years).
Today, the Firestone brand belongs to the Japanese company Bridgestone.
