Bridgestone Americas Inc. has launched its Firestone Affinity AS touring tire.
The new tire features a tread compound that is engineered to defend against uneven and premature wear and comes with a 65,000-mile limited warranty.
Its compound features diagonal and lateral sipes for wet-weather traction and handling and noise-silencing grooves built into the tread pattern.
"Our new touring offering, the Affinity AS tire, is designed to deliver confident handling, a quiet ride, and long wear life for mainstream sedans," says Brad Robison, director of consumer product strategy, Bridgestone Americas.
“With impressive wet-weather grip and longevity, the Affinity AS tire is built for the drivers who appreciate strong performance and good value.”
According to Bridgestone officials, the Affinity AS tire is a key addition to the Firestone touring lineup, strategically positioned between the entry-level Firestone All Season tire and the Firestone WeatherGrip tire.
Expanding the Firestone portfolio, the Affinity AS tire offers an additional option to drivers who prioritize dependable all-season performance, without winter-specific certification.
The Affinity AS tire is engineered for popular cars with 15-inch through 19-inch rim diameters. There will be 28 total fitments offered with a staggered release throughout 2025 with nine fitments available at launch.
The top fitments of Affinity AS tires include the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus, and Chevrolet Impala SEL. The Firestone Affinity AS tire is on sale now.
