Bridgestone Tires Ecopia EP422 Plus 185/60R15 84T

A brand's history can tell a lot about its roots and culture. Bridgestone can trace its lineage back to two venerable companies. The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company and Bridgestone Tire Company Ltd. The Firestone Company was founded in 1900 in Akron, Ohio, while the Bridgestone Tire Company Ltd. was a product of Japanese national Shojiro Ishibashi in 1931. The companies merged in 1988, with Bridgestone purchasing Firestone and consolidating the brands into one massive company. The tech advances from both companies came to bear on their products, as it still does today. With over fifty facilities scattered around the United States, the company is a well-established brand within the country and worldwide. The company has seen massive growth in recent years, despite a few hiccups. Historically, they are the first company to have developed the idea of rayon and nylon tire construction, allowing for lightweight tires to be made that stood up to regular use. Their tire construction has also seen significant improvement since this time, with research and development into a plethora of lines. Many vehicle owners can testify to the comfort, safety, and durability of Bridgestone's tires offer today. Bridgestone's current iteration of tires demonstrates attention to detail, and customer satisfaction ratings that are impressive, to say the least.
