Firestone Tires
have definitely improved over time
Firestone tires
were
founded by Harvey Firestone in 1900 to supply tires
for many forms of transportation including carts and
buggies. In 1988
Bridgestone Corporation bought the Firestone tire
brand and continued to develop, manufacture and
market these tires for industrial,
commercial, passenger, racing and agriculture.
Firestone has tires for cars, light trucks, medium
and heavy duty trucks, motorcycles, SUV, tractor
equipment, off-road, motor sports, Indy racing, OTR
and kart; they even have bus tires!
Although Firestone has had its share of recalls and
rubber problems in the past, that seems to have been
corrected this over the years with new tire
technology. In 2000 Firestone won its fifth
consecutive Championship Auto Racing Teams
championship and 4th consecutive Indy Racing League
championship which says a lot about the company.
Today Firestone’s tire technology includes
UNI-T (the Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire
Technology) UNI-T AQ and UNI-T AQII (advanced
quality). These tires are available in selected
performance, touring, car, motorcycle and truck
tires.
If you want to buy all season, mud or winter snow
tires by firestone, shop the internet as this is a
great place to find cheap discounts for many tire
models including affinity, ag, destination, Indy
500, firehawk, fr690, fusion, wilderness and
winterforce to mention a few. I’ve also found
Firestone sale coupons online through various tire
dealers like the one mentioned below.
You can also do a search on Google maps for your
local tire dealer/store or for the closest
automotive centre location near you that sells
Firestone tyres.
www.firestone.com is a great resource as well
as the Canada site,
www.firestone.ca for more store information.
When I read a few consumers tire reviews on
Firestone I found star rating ranged from 2.5 up to
4.5 depending on the style. I also found that tire
prices ranged from as low as $99 up to as high as
$450 and beyond. These Firestone prices will
certainly vary as it all depends on your vehicle’s
tire size, make and model and what kind of
performance you’re looking for.
Ultimately, shopping for tires can take some time so
do your research and compare tire prices through
various online merchants. Some important things to
investigate before buying Firestone’s include the
company’s warranty and shipping costs.
