Bridgestone Expands All-Terrain Tire Line to Include Sizes for Medium-Duty Commercial Vehicles

Bridgestone Americas, Inc. (Bridgestone) has expanded its Firestone Transforce tire line to include new size offerings for Class 4-5 commercial truck vehicles.

The Firestone Transforce AT2 is an all-position, radial tire designed for all-terrain performance, featuring a tread design to promote traction in wet and winter conditions. With a tread-to-road contact footprint, the Firestone Transforce AT2 tire is engineered to deliver lasting durability throughout its life, Bridgestone says. The all-terrain tire is designed to prevent heat damage. Three new sizes will soon be available for medium-duty commercial vans and trucks.

Key features of the Firestone Transforce AT2 tire include:

Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification for winter traction performance;
A tread design featuring multiple tread edges to promote traction in wet conditions;
A series of sidewall protector ribs that fight curbing damage to help promote casing durability;
A high-scrub tread compound that enhances scrubbing resistance and promotes increased tread life; and
A wider belt that helps to extend the tire’s shoulder area and diminish irregular wear.

The new Firestone Transforce AT2 tire size 225/70R19.5 LRF for medium-duty commercial vehicles is currently available in the U.S. and Canada with sizes 225/70R19.5 LRG and 245/70R19.5 LRG available by Oct. 1.
