Bridgestone-\u00adowned tire brand Firestone is this year celebrating a centenary of supplying Australian drivers with its products. Australians have been driving on Firestone tires since August 1915 when the manufacturer \u2013 the Firestone Tyre and Rubber Company \u2013 was just 15 years old. Bridgestone Corporation went on to acquire the USA-\u00adbased company in 1988.<\/p>\n

Bridgestone Australia MD, Andrew Moffatt, said Firestone’s maintained presence in Australia for the last 100 years is a great achievement for the brand: “We’re very proud to have Firestone, a trusted tire brand which has now been in Australia for a century.<\/p>\n

“Firestone products are designed to deliver superior handling and a quiet and comfortable ride, while\talso offering better value. They’re great all-round tires and the fact they’ve been part of the Australian market for 100 years is a testament.”<\/p>\n
