Founded more than 90 years ago in Japan, Bridgestone has become the world’s largest tire manufacturer. It developed Japan’s first passenger vehicle radial tire in 1964 and expanded to the North American market in 1967. It pioneered studless winter tires in the early 1980s in reaction to the twin challenges of winter tire mandates in some countries and the damage that metal studs do to road surfaces. Its Blizzak line has been among the most highly regarded winter tires for decades.
We’ve chosen five Bridgestone tire types—all-season, all-terrain, winter, run-flat and high performance summer—that are among the best tires the company makes. As with any brand of tire, you should check your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for size and load capacity before buying.

METHODOLOGY
In order to determine the best Bridgestone tires, we considered the products most accessible to the widest swath of consumers in the U.S., which also includes performance, price and value. We also considered a broad range of end-user ratings and evaluations by multiple testers.
