NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 20, 2008) — Bridgestone/Firestone's Greatec wide-base drive and trailer radials have been approved for EPA SmartWay fuel-economy certification of commercial tires.
Tires that earn EPA SmartWay certification must achieve at least 3-percent better fuel economy than the average new tire.
Last summer, four Bridgestone-brand commercial truck tires were approved for EPA-certified SmartWay tractors and trailers: the R287 steer, R280 steer, M720 drive and R195F trailer radials, BFS said.
