Firestone Tires

    The Firestone Company was founded in 1900 and initially it was represented by a tiny firm which intended to manufacture rubber products that were not dedicated to auto or motor-business. But a 31-year old inventor and entrepreneur Jarvis C. Firestone who was at the head of that firm gambled on the bicycle, motorcycle and car casing that was very popular that time.

    In the year 1911 Firestone tires put on racing cars first promoted the win in the Indy 500 racing. Cars with Firestone tires provided at the very least 50 triumphal rounds.

    In 1920 a Japanese Shojiro Ishibashi transformed its small family business producing Japanese footwear tabi into a modern industrial enterprise. He transferred traditional Japanese wooden sandals to the rubber sole. So just a step was left from the rubber footwear soles production to the compounding bicycle tire manufacturing…

    Shojiro Ishibashi organized his own production in the USA called Bridgestone, Ltd. in 1931. Where did he take that name? He just translated his name (Ishibashi) from Japanese to English. Ishibashi meant stone bridge word for word. Moreover bridge stone was consonant with the previous firm name – Firestone.

    In 1988 Bridgestone bought up the rival Firestone, and turned Bridgestone into a global corporation. Now Bridgestone and Firestone exist in the USA under the Bridgestone/Firestone brand.

    Firestone tires today are considered to be one of the most popular tires with good treadwear, perfect directional stability, high quality compounding, reliable harmonic marking and high speed rating.

    Firestone Transforce Ht Tire
    Firestone Transforce HT is a quality radial tire with all-season operation on highways. It is designed for light trucks, vans and minivans, sport utility vehicles and pickups. It suits commercial use as well. The tire was made with the help of the UNI-T technology and like all Firestone tires, underwent obligatory electronic control of the end product. The UNI-T technology presupposes computer-aided design of the tire’s profile and carcass, as well as complex application of different technologies depending on the season the tire is made for. The Transforce HT can be used in various weather conditions as it delivers reliable dry and wet traction while providing for efficient grip on snow. It features asymmetrical tread pattern with a continuous central rib for balanced behavior and predictable handling in bad weather. Wide circumferential grooves enable water evacuation from under the contact patch and help avoid hydroplaning while dense siping provides for numerous biting edges that add to snow traction. The tire’s construction includes a polyester cord body and twin steel belts wrapped in nylon, which helps the tire endure stresses of high-speed driving.
