In May of 1988 Bridgestone acquired Firestone Tires, becoming the largest tire company in the world. They now have about 55,000 employees and 50 production facilities throughout the United States.
Today over 2,200 company-owned vehicle service centers and tire locations distribute tires of more than 8,000 different types and sizes.
Last year, Bridgestone spent over a billion dollars on research and development to bring better products to the consumers.
Switching to Bridgestone tires from the competitors, the cars felt immediately different.
