Bridgestone to Unveil “New Generation of Tyres” at CV Show

Bridgestone has announced that it will present a complete range of new generation tyres at this year’s Commercial Vehicle Show, at the NEC in April. Bridgestone’s pioneering collection will be revealed at this year’s show, encompassing the R249 and R168, as well as their most recent addition to the family, the M749.

The introduction of the Bridgestone M749 highway drive-axle tyre (first published in T&A September 2006) follows the launch of the R249 steer-axle and R168 trailer-axle tyres, and completes Bridgestone’s new generation long distance highway line-up. The range has been engineered to improve cost efficiency due to excellent rolling resistance and superior mileage as well as their capacity for future retreading.

Roger Moulding, Marketing Manager for Commercial Products at Bridgestone UK said: “We are really looking forward to unveiling our new generation of long distance highway tyres together for the first time at the show. The complete range will make their official debut at our press conference on 23rd April where all in attendance will be given the opportunity to ask questions and meet the Bridgestone team.”
