Firestone Tire Design for 2017 Subaru Impreza

Bridgestone Americas’ Firestone FT140 tire is specified as original equipment on the all-new 2017 Subaru Impreza.

The Firestone FT140 tire is engineered with a unique tread pattern to provide all-season performance in both wet and dry conditions, while also offering low rolling resistance for enhanced fuel efficiency, Bridgestone said.

“We have a long history of collaboration with Subaru as the sole tire supplier for the Outback models in North America, and we appreciate the opportunity to build on our relationship and develop the right tire for the all-new Subaru Impreza,” said Mike Martini, president of original equipment tire sales, U.S. and Canada at Bridgestone. “Our team worked very closely with Subaru to design a tire that complements the quality and performance of the 2017 Impreza. It is a vehicle built to last, which is why we designed the Firestone FT140 tire to deliver year-round dependability and durability.”

The Firestone FT140 tire is available as original equipment on the 2017 Subaru Impreza in size 205/50R17.
