Firestone Tires, Taylorsville, NC

Racecar drivers love Firestone tires, and so will you – drop by and see us in Taylorsville to learn more!

Sometimes it is beneficial to look back in history to see who came up with today’s standards. Because they wrote the book that everyone else follows, they are often the one to turn to. That is why we proudly carry Firestone tires at Country Town Tire & Auto Service Center. Firestone has been doing it longer than most – more than 115 years, and they are attributed with making a non-skid tread pattern the industry standard back in 1909.

This was a revolutionary development at the time and was quickly adapted by NASCAR, resulting in plenty of drivers winning the Indianapolis 500 – in fact, more than 60 times and counting. What is interesting to note is that racing has been in the Firestone blood right from the beginning when Harvey Firestone used a rubber-tired buggy in a horse race in the early 1890s and won the competition.

While you may not need the extreme performance of a race car driver, you can count on the quality and performance of Firestone tires for your vehicle, too. The lineup at Firestone Tires includes Champion (fuel-efficient, all-season), Destination (great for off-road), Firehawk (track-proven performance), Transforce (heavy duty to handle heavy workloads), Winterforce (winter traction), Affinity (budget-friendly), and Precision (long-lasting and quiet).

Don’t worry if all this sounds complicated, as we’ll demystify it for you when you stop by to see us in Taylorsville, North Carolina. We’ll go over the benefits of each type of tire offered by Firestone to provide you with the ability to make an informed decision. Whether you want to race like Mario Andretti (who still loves Firestone, by the way) or just make sure your car will handle safely, we can get you there!
