The answer was a Firestone tire that is actually a Bridgestone, apparently they have merged. Can’t remember the model but it’s fantastic and very affordable…this coming from one of the best Porsche pilots around.  |
Bridgestone bought Firestone on Feb. 16, 1988. So not a recent change. The Firestone 500 killed Firestone’s reputation.
