As someone who works for firestone/Bridgestone it’s insane how much the company prides itself on being the best it can be. And yes, a huge part of what we pride ourselves on is honesty. I truly believe in the company. It’s terrific. And if you get a chance to work for Bridgestone/Firestone. Take it. It’s worth it

I have some Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack tires on my Jetta. Fantastic set of tires. I actually chose these over a set of contis.

Thanks homie!

As an employee of Bridgestone I can agree to most of this, the only thing I can add is that Firestone wasn’t the only company that merged with Bridgestone. There was Hibdon Tires and Hibdon Tires Plus and some others. Other than that, Firehawks are what I run on my street car and Destination Mts on my super duty. Great video good information. 👍🤟

Subscribed Solid history. I have barely used Bridgestone until the Potenza RE71R I am on my second set and they are one of the best for autox and lapping days. At least 80% of local cars at my autox are on RE71R.

Subscribed and thanks for this brief history on Bridgestone I live in toronto and a car tire dealer suggested me to go for BS - blizzak WS80 for my 2013 accord. I didn’t know much about tyres but hands down, till now they have been really good. Your appreciation for ws80 gives me even more confidence.

Subscribed Fitment Industries did an amazing job describing the tough history and the values of the leading tyre-manufacturer, that I am blessed to Co-op with currently. Mr. Shojiro Ishibashi not only created a strong value of family and hardwork, but also instilled a foundation that was based on Seijitsu-Kyocho, Shinshu-Dokuso, Genbutdu-Genba and Jukuryo-Danko. Nowadays, Bridgestone continues to strive for superior quality, while considering the safety of its employees, and it's environment (Check out their recent donation to the Nature Conservancy of Tennessee). Beyond proud to co-op as a Mech. E in one of their Passenger Vehicle/Light Truck plants in America!

Thanks Alex !!

Myth has it.. if you are early to videos 2 days in a row they will like your comment

I've subscribed, and the potenza line of tires is amazing. The Bridgestone Potenza RE003 tires are what I use on everything. Street, track, drifting, they're an incredible brand that's supports their users and buying a lot of tyres from your local shop can even get you discounts (hint hint)

I subscribed! Good videos I love them.

Subscribed a few months ago. Love your videos!

I worked at Firestone/Bridgestone for a while. Even before that, my dad used Bridgestone tires on many of his cars. 6:55 My mom had a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and while I was at work, I installed Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza tires. 2 were made in the USA, one was made in Mexico, and one was made in Canada. One thing I find is that Bridgestone specializes in making good replacement tires and some really crappy tires sold just to OEMs. I would like to have a video about Pirelli. Occasionally there were Pirelli truck tires at the Firestone places where I worked. The quality was excellent, and the price was lower than anyone would expect for such a great tire. I think if Pirelli didn't spend so much money on advertising premium tires for fast cars, they would be far more profitable. The tires they sell for ordinary trucks are a great value and everybody should know about it.

The name Bridgestone comes from the founders name. Ishibashi translates as “stone bridge” but that was turned round to Bridgestone as it sounded more western....possibly influenced by the well known US brand Firestone (which Bridgestone ended up buying in the ‘80s).

Good stuff man, also agreed on WS80s - snow tank on my Regal hehe

Been subcribed. Running RE-71R on the autocross car. Like them allot.

You already know I’m subscribed! I’ve been looking at the Bridgestone Potenza s-04 pole position as my next tire. I didn’t actually know they were Japanese either 😅

I was in highschool and had been saving up 5 Rand coins to buy something for my dad's car which I would also drive at times. It just so happened that it needed a new set of tyres at the time and i had enough coins saved up and ended buying them. Bridgestone tyres were the first set of tyres I ever bought. Potenza Adrenalin RE002's 195/50/15. Changed the drivability of the car completely and I only had good things to say about it since then

I subscribed!!! thanks!

I just got a set of RE-71Rs and it's like I got an entirely new car. Cannot begin to tell how fantastic those tires are. ❤

I subscribed!!! You rock!!!

subscribed.. good video series

last time i use bridgestone is potenza G3 times and they were not comfy for daily drive. went to GT radial for a few years until i sold my car, they're comfy and just good. then i got accelera tires when i bought another car, it was total crap. went back to potenza re003 last week and damn.. this one feels awesome. it has a lot of grip, a bit firm, but still comfy. the only reason i choose re003 is just because i can't find michelin PS4. but hey, no regret at all!

Love the videos. You should do a video on Nokian Tyres. I live in NW Pennsylvania and they are amazing tires for the weird weather we get.

Done been subscribed my dudes. 🤙🏻❤️

I've had Blizzaks since the WS-15, but a few years ago Bridgestone fell to third place in the studless market behind the Hakkapeliitta R2 and the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 (although the WS-80 is probably better than the X-Ice in deep snow). Nokian will have the R3 for next winter; we'll see if Bridgestone (and Michelin) will be left further behind.

I subscribed! Along time ago! 🙌🏻

I have both! Blizzaks for the winter and Potenzas for the summer. =D
