NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Bridgestone Americas is replacing its Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 and Wide Oval AS lines with the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 ultra-high-performance and Firehawk AS all-season high-performance lines.
Bridgestone describes the new Firehawk designs as “consumer tire extensions” of the Firehawk race tires used in the Verizon IndyCar Series.
“Racing is an integral part of the Firestone brand's heritage and the ultimate proof point for our tire technology,” said Philip Dobbs, chief marketing officer, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations.
