Bridgestone or “Stone Bridge” (the direct translation of the name from Japanese) was founded in 1931 by Shojiro Ishibashi, in Japan. In 1932, Bridgestone became the first Japanese company to offer tires nationally. They did so in response to demand after Japan started producing automobiles in the 1930s. In 1983, Bridgestone entered into the United States by purchasing a tire plant in La Vergne, Tennessee, that belonged to Firestone Tire & Rubber. By the 21st century Bridgestone had become one of the “Big Three” tire manufacturers in the United States. Now, Bridgestone products are manufactured and sold on six continents.
Bridgestone Tire has a “Passion for Excellence” along with their vision; “Our passion for the very best in technology, quality, and service is at the heart of our commitment to you wherever you are in the world. Bridgestone wants to “inspire and move you.” Bridgestone is known for being a company who cares more for their customers than for 
themselves, which they continue to prove every day.
One of Bridgestone’s most popular Original Equipment or OE tire on vehicles sold in the United States is the Insignia SE200. The Insignia SE200 comes on many vehicles because of its excellent and versatile qualities of low noise, comfort, longevity, all season traction, and handling. The Insignia SE200 is built to have a long mileage life and the ability to perform in any weather conditions.
Bridgestone has one of the most popular All-Terrain light truck tires in America in the Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO. This Bridgestone tire features UNI-T AQII Technology, which offers three main features: Super EPO, Dual-Layer Tread, and Super EPC. The Super EPO gives the tire a more comfortable ride and retains traction throughout the life of the tire. The Dual-Layer Tread works in conjunction with Super EPO which results in wet performance handling throughout its whole life. The Super EPC allows for extra flexibility over other tires by counteracting the effects of heat given off from the tire in a positive way. On top of the great technology within the Bridgestone tire, the tire itself has an excellent aggressive design that has a 
proven on and off road traction throughout summer, winter, fall and spring. Don’t let the design of this tire fool you; expect nothing less than thousands of miles with a comfortable, low noise ride.
One of the most popular and well known snow tires throughout the United States is the Bridgestone Blizzak WS60. The Blizzak is designed for all of winter’s worst; the icy, slushy, and snow covered roads. The Blizzak WS60 is actually the third generation of the Bridgestone Winter Biter tire. The Blizzak WS60 is noted for inspiring drivers with confidence while driving in winter conditions so whether you live in Maine or Pennsylvania the Blizzak will put you at ease on the road. The secret of the Blizzak is the technology and the design of the tire. Some of the technology includes the silica enhanced Tube Multicell compound and the 3-D zigzag sypes. The Tube Multicell layer is thousands of microscopic tubes and cells that resemble the consistency of Swiss cheese when thoroughly examined through a microscope. This technology allows for more traction. The Blizzak’s 3-D zigzag sypes act as a snowplow by clearing a path for the contact patches of the tire.
