About Bridgestone

The name is the founder's, turned around. Ishibashi means stone bridge in Japanese, so the company became Bridgestone.

The U.S. lineup is organized by family. Turanza is touring, Potenza is performance, Alenza is for SUVs and crossovers, Dueler covers trucks and SUVs, and Blizzak is winter. In Montclair, Blizzak only matters if you head up to Big Bear or Mt. Baldy when there's snow.

Bridgestone owns Firestone, and the two sit side by side in the same family. Bridgestone is the flagship. Firestone is the American heritage brand, and it's the natural comparison when you're weighing options.

Commuters on the 10 and the 210 who want a touring tire from a major maker, and crossover and SUV owners replacing the tires their vehicle came with.

Bridgestone questions

Is Firestone owned by Bridgestone?

Yes, since 1988. They're separate brands with separate lineups under the same parent company.

Turanza or Potenza?

Turanza is Bridgestone's touring family, built for comfort, quiet and tread life. Potenza is the performance family, built for grip and steering response, and it usually trades some tread life to get there. Most commuters belong in a Turanza.
