Bridgestone Europe - the number one tyre and rubber manufacturer in the world - announces that Firestone has developed Destination HP for the tyre replacement market, targeting drivers of city crossovers and small-to-medium-sized sport utility vehicles (SUVs).
Competing in Firestone's mid-priced tyre segment, Destination HP aims to provide SUVs with best-in-class mileage and control in the wet, with top handling stability in all conditions.
José-Enrique Gonzalez, Director Marketing, Bridgestone Europe: "The Destination HP targets our core Firestone customers - the young at heart, active people aspiring to a freedom to drive - capitalizing on their growing attraction to urban crossovers and their aspiration towards a carefree SUV way of life."
Overall best balanced performance(1)
Destination HP achieves up to 35% higher mileage without reducing safety and backs up this positioning with a highly competitive technical package. The sporty tread pattern is designed for giving maximum control and traction in cornering. Groove distribution is optimized for wet performance while the stiff shoulder blocks ensure good grip and steering response in dry conditions. A special SUV casing construction ensures stable driving and long-lasting wear.
The Destination HP also achieves top results in wet grip with best-in-segment results on the Euro Tyre Label B grading for wet grip across all five top-selling Destination HP sizes introduced in 2014. This performance combines with C to E grading on fuel efficiency, providing a perfect balance between rolling resistance and wear life.
Destination HP is available across Europe from May 2014, initially in 10 sizes for 16- and 17-inch rims.
An iconic brand
Firestone has become a trusted brand in Europe and has stood the test of time. It is also a brand with a strong history in motorsports, being involved in Formula 1 in the 1950's until the mid-1970's as well as - more remarkably - in the Indianapolis 500 where the first race ever in 1911 was won by a car running Firestone tyres. Since then, Firestone has remained involved in the Indy 500, and became sole provider in 2013.
Firestone came to Europe in the 1930's with the construction of its first plant in Bilbao in 1931. Since then it has had a very strong presence in the old continent thanks to the strong American heritage it built over the years and through offering quality and reliable tyres for a reasonable price.
Rebuilding on brand heritage
The new Destination HP will be playing a key role in reaffirming Firestone in Europe. The brand is reasserting its core philosophy which is to allow everyone the freedom to drive and discover. Firestone is keeping this heritage alive not only by connecting with consumers' aspirations to a SUV active lifestyle, but by offering a wide set of options to motorists - ranging from general use, to high performance (SZ90a) as well as touring (TZ300µ) or Run-Flat Technology tyres (SZ90 RFT). Indeed, over the last couple of years, the brand has been busy upgrading its passenger car tyre line-up and now offers motorists a very competitive range designed for reliability, safety and value for money - in summer and in winter.
This renewal of the brand's identity will also soon be visible on the new Firestone website due to be renewed this summer.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
