SUPPLIED TO THE FIA FORMULA ONE DRIVERS' AND CONSTRUCTORS'WORLD CHAMPION: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 AND 2003.

With six years in a row at the top of the world's most demanding motor sport, Bridgestone's advanced tyre technologies have proved their superiority.

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
Bridgestone is steadily growing in the original equipment market due to its excellent performances. It is constantly awarded new and exclusive contracts with the biggest car manufacturers such as Ferrari, BMW, Audi, Daimler-Chrysler... to mention just a few.

We are very proud to have the Potenza RE050 fitted to Ferrari's super sport car “Enzo”, but equally important are our fitments on general use cars such as the Volkswagen Polo and Peugeot 307.

Our aim is to have more and more cars, from super sport to general use, equipped with Bridgestone tyres when they leave the factory.

KEEPING TYRES ROLLING SAFELY EVEN AFTER A PUNCTURE.
Bridgestone is a pioneer in developing and producing runflat tyres. These tyres continue to function safely up to a designated speed and distance after losing pressure. Along with enhancing safety, they save weight and fuel by eliminating the need to carry a spare tyre.

Bridgestone supplies runflat tyres to several car manufacturers, for high performance sports cars, stylish coupes, ultra-fuel-efficient minicars, and special vehicles for transporting physically disabled people.

These tyres can be mounted on conventional wheels and have reinforced sidewalls to support the vehicle even if punctured.
