Default Bridgestone Tires

Not sure if any members know this but Bridgestone Tire Co. owns the Firestone brand and also OWNS the Tires Plus stores. Verified this by contacting their corp. hqtrs. Also I had a question about their model Turanza EL440 as to whether it was a "run flat." The answer was it was not. This seems to be a great tire for the GS350.

Bridgestone labels their run flat tires with RFT. They also have a line of tires called DriveGuard that has a lot more sizes available.

A lot of tire manufacture like Bridgestone or Continental have subbrand(s) below them.

Tirerack is another great resource and they often list OEM tires for reference or for purchase.
