Bridgestone Launches New Firestone FS592 Trucking Tire
Bridgestone Americas (Bridgestone) today launched the brand-new Firestone FS592 steer tire for long haul and regional trucking fleets. The ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ workhorse tire is designed with an additional 32nd of tread depth and a wider footprint to deliver more removal miles than its predecessor while maintaining a trusted, durable tread pattern. The FS592 comes in four sizes, is EPA SmartWay certified and engineered with the company’s next-generation ENLITEN technology.

The FS592 tire is a testament to Bridgestone’s commitment to developing innovative products and advancing mobility, even when it means reimagining a proven formula.”
