Bridgestone Americas announced its new Bridgestone W920 drive tire, which the company said is engineered to meet the year-round needs of trucking fleets and owner-operators.
Among features of the W920:
- All-weather performance -- The tire is Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, designed to provide drivers with dependable traction in rain and snow.
- Longer wear life -- The tire is engineered to help fleets extract more miles out of the tire with 18% longer tread life than the previous-generation W919.
- Optimized tread pattern -- The non-directional tread pattern of the W920 helps simplify mounting, rotation and overall management. The tread pattern also features enhanced stone rejector platforms, specialized tread compounds, and full-depth sipes for additional all-weather defense.
- Retreadability -- The tire is outfitted with a premium casing, designed to deliver multiple retread cycles.
“Weather plays a significant role in every fleet’s journey. Our aim with the W920 is to mitigate risks and elements that weather brings to the road and give drivers more confidence in these uncertain conditions,” said Brad Booth, Director, Canadian Commercial Sales, Bridgestone Americas. “The Bridgestone W920 tire with ENLITEN technology illustrates our company’s passion for bringing products to the market that directly respond to the needs of fleets in different regions.”
The Bridgestone W920 is the third ENLITEN tire for the commercial truck segment to debut so far in 2025. Through ENLITEN technologies, the new tire builds upon its predecessor, the Bridgestone W919.
Produced at the company’s Warren County Plant in Tennessee, the Bridgestone W920 will initially launch in the 11R22.5 size with additional sizes coming in 2026.
