Bridgestone's Potenza performance tires will be available as original equipment on Mazda's redesigned 2006 MX-5 Miata. Bridgestone will supply the roadsters with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT Run-Flat tires and will offer its Blizzak winter run-flat tires as aftermarket replacements for the model.
Bridgestone has been supplying tires to Mazda since it brought the Miata to market in the United States in 1990.
The redesigned MX-5 Miata features a larger interior and exterior and a new 2.0-liter DOHC aluminum 4-cylinder engine that produces 170 horsepower.
Nashville-based Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire is a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas Holding Inc., whose parent company is Bridgestone Corp.
