The company reached several engineering milestones early on, introducing Japan's first steel radial tires for trucks in 1962, followed by passenger vehicle radials in 1964. A landmark safety development came in 1986 with the debut of Run-Flat Technology, enabling vehicles to travel at up to 50 mph after a complete loss of tire pressure. Bridgestone expanded its global footprint significantly with the 1988 acquisition of Firestone Tire \u0026amp; Rubber Company.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridgestone has a long history in motorsports, including years as a tire supplier in Formula 1, and has served as a Worldwide Olympic Partner since 2014. The company markets tires under several sub-brands, including Firestone, Fuzion, and SureDrive. Its core product families span a wide range of driving needs and include the Potenza, Turanza, Alenza, Dueler, Blizzak, Driveguard, WeatherPeak, and Ecopia lines, covering performance, touring, all-terrain, winter, and fuel-efficiency categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Turanza EL42 a good tire for winter driving?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EL42 is an all-season tire, meaning it can handle light winter conditions such as cold temperatures, light snow, and wet roads better than a summer-only tire. However, it is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so it is not rated for severe snow service. Drivers in regions with heavy snowfall or frequent icy roads would be better served by a dedicated winter tire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat vehicles is the Turanza EL42 designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EL42 was developed as original equipment for select Lexus and Infiniti models, making it a natural replacement choice for owners of those vehicles.
