Speedco Adds Bridgestone
And Firestone Brands
Forty locations to enhance product line
CAYUGA, IN (Feb. 15, 2008) – Speedco announced today the addition of Bridgestone and Firestone brand truck tires to its line-up of over-the-road steer, drive and trailer tires in stock at all Speedco Truck Lube & Tire centers nationwide. Bridgestone will replace Michelin as the premium new tire brand offered at Speedco locations.
Respected nationwide for their ability to provide lube, oil and filter service in about 30 minutes, Speedco has added similar speed and pit-crew precision in the tire lanes. Forty of Speedco’s 51 locations offer full-service tire lanes that will now feature Bridgestone and Firestone brand tires, as well as Bandag retreads.
“Our customers appreciate the speed in which we return them to the road, and they come back for the value and the quality,” said Mark Clark, Speedco President. “The addition of the Bridgestone and Firestone brands enhances our offering with best-in-class tires in the popular sizes our customers are looking for – from the common 295/75R22.5 to the ultra wide 445’s,” he adds.
Speedco will feature the Bridgestone R280, M726 EL, R195 and Greatec series and the Firestone FS590 PLUS, FD690 PLUS and FT455 tires as part of their total tire offering. National account pricing is also accepted. In addition to tires, Speedco tire lanes offer tire inspections and air-up service, flat repairs, balancing and tire rotation. As a courtesy, all Speedco customers can have their personal tire gauges tested and calibrated free of charge just for stopping in.
Speedco locations are open 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. A complete list of Speedco locations and services can be found HERE , or by calling 1-866-SPEEDCO.
