Bridgestone Commercial Solutions Introduces Three New Fuel-Efficient Firestone Truck Tires

April 1, 2013

Bridgestone has unveiled three new Firestone-brand commercial truck tires for regional to long-haul use as part of the company’s commitment to supporting drivers and small fleet owners with innovative, fuel-saving designs, fuel-efficient tread patterns and other features key to those seeking a lower cost per mile. The three new tires coincide with the launch of a new brand campaign, “Those With Drive, Drive a Firestone.” The new tires – FS591, FD691, and FT491 – meet EPA SmartWay and California Air Resources Board (CARB) fuel efficiency requirements without sacrificing removal miles.

Each tire features patented NanoPro-Tech polymer technology that limits energy loss for improved rolling resistance and optimum fuel efficiency.  Plus, an innovative sidewall design utilized in each tire reduces overall tire weight to improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing durability.

Additional features found in each tire include the following:

  • FS591 Steer Radial – Combines low rolling resistance tread and energy-saving casing design to optimize fuel efficiency. The ULTI-Rib and Defense Side Groove designs promote smooth wear while a continuous shoulder offers long, even wear and lower rolling resistance.
  • FD691 Drive Radial – Features a continuous shoulder design and high-rigidity tread pattern to promote long, even wear, helping increase tread life and lower rolling resistance. Flow-through design evacuates water to increase road grip.
  • FT491 All-Position Radial – Features ULTI-Rib and Defense Groove designs to combat the initiation and spread of irregular wear. Sidewall protector ribs help protect the casing from curbing damage and abrasion.
