Firestone tires made their first official racing appearance in 1909 when company founder Harvey Firestone put a set on a car driven by Barney Oldfield in the Indianapolis 300. During a test run for that competition, Oldfield told the assembled onlookers “my only life insurance is Firestone tires.” He and Firestone later had the phrase painted on the side of his racecar, and he toured the country “performing amazing feats of speed.” Firestone is the only tire brand to have appeared in every Indy Racing League contest, and has provided tires to 14 IZOD IndyCar Series champions. The IZOD IndyCar Series and the Firestone Indy Lights provide Firestone, known as “America's Tire Since 1900,” excellent showcases to demonstrate technology, along with the world's largest laboratory for testing and evaluating new materials and construction processes for street and highway tires. They also allow the brand to create more wins and more championships, contributing to the growing success of Firestone Racing.

Bridgestone Americas' corporate family traces its roots to two distinguished companies - The Firestone® Tire & Rubber Company, which Harvey Firestone formed in Akron, Ohio in August 1900, and the Bridgestone Tire Company Ltd. which Shojiro Ishibashi started in Japan in 1931. Bridgestone Corporation purchased Firestone in 1988 for $2.6 billion, transforming the companies' combined operations into the world's largest tire and rubber company. The operations in the Americas were renamed Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. and became the largest subsidiary of Bridgestone. As part of its integration with Bridgestone's existing U.S. operations, Bridgestone/Firestone moved its headquarters from Akron to Nashville in 1992.

Snow Testing These Tires on a 2021 SUV Kia Seltos SX Turbo.

FIRESTONE® - WEATHERGRIP

1,000 miles on these at time of testing. Yes these tires are a little louder at times, I lost 1 or 2 miles per gallon. With that said I love these tires and they are a more well rounded all season solution for all four seasons that will not leave you stuck some where on a back road. I test drove them tonight 12/24/2020 in 6 or 7 inches of snow on narrow back roads of Canal Winchester, Ohio -- Lancaster, Ohio (at midnight with the temperature at 17 degrees) for 2 hours and they (give the all wheel drive all it needed to work with). I would stop going up each steep hill two or three times and start up again trying to test their limits and they had no problem starting back up again up the hill and also going down the hills working together well with the anti-lock brakes. The depth of the snow would not throw the car around, I felt in control, at 35 - 45mph the front tires was cutting through the deep Icy snow. For myself I feel now I do not have to worry about changing my tires now when the temp gets over 45 degrees like I did using the (Blizzak DM-V2 snow tires one of the best snow tires) on my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. I think these Firestone Weather Grip tires would be great just using them in the winter as a dedicated snow tire here in Ohio if you wanted but I like the comfortable ride and handling that they give on the dry roads I now am keeping them on all year around. Another thing I have noticed and I can not give you an reason but they are not loosing 2 or 3 of air pressure with the the drastic changing of the temperature all the time like the stock Kumho Majesty Solus (three season tires) Bottom line I feel safe with these tires in all seasons, the brakes stop the wheel but the tire stops the car.
