is bridgestone and firestone the same company?

hopefully, since they are the same company, they dont decide to combine the name into "bridge fire".

 

I HAD bridgstones one time on my steers, they wore good until about 100,000 miles, then they rode like flintstone tires

 

Last I knew, which could have changed in the past 5 years:
Goodyear owns Kelly and Cooper
Michelin owns, BF Goodrich, Uniroyal and Kleber
Continental owns General and Hoosier
Bridgestone owns Firestone and Dayton
Cooper owns Avon
There are a ton of tire brands out there, but only a dozen or so actual manufacturers, similar to batteries.

We get a national pricing discount on Michelin, but it does not apply to BF Goodrich. So you may not get a discount just because they're owned by the same corporation. That is a question for your Bridgestone national account rep.

 

I guess that "Reputation Defender" program thats advertised all over XM Radio actually works!!

 

but i dont want to pay full retail!!!

 

One of the advantages of being leased to LS.

 

yes they are one of the same company... I drive for Bridgestone/ Firestone great company.... Great tires....keep us moving keep buying

 

And Mercer. I hear Bridgestone has free Kool Aid in the waiting room.


Oh....BTT !!!!

 

Really? I couldn't get any life out of the FS560s. They never wore straight either. Run XZA3s on steers and XZE2s on the trailers now and wearing perfect. Michelin advantage program has been very nice and given me no reason to go back to the stones even though I try to give that dealer all of our business when possible.
