Tyres are an important purchase, so we offer several warranties to cover your tyres and give you peace of mind.

If you buy one of our tyres in Australia from an authorised Bridgestone dealer, your tyres are eligible for assessment under our manufacturer warranty. This warranty covers you for the life of your tyres.

Assessments are completed by a trained professional from our technical team. If we’re unable to assess your tyres in store, you’ll need to surrender your tyres in order to proceed with the claim. Find your nearest Bridgestone store to find out more.

Along with our manufacturer’s warranty, we also offer a number of other warranties depending on the type of tyres you have purchased.

At Bridgestone, our commitment to quality and safety sits at the heart of everything we do. We invest over $800 million every year researching and developing tyres, and test the performance of more than 10,000 tyres each day. With our dedication to your driving experience, it’s no wonder we’re Australia’s most trusted tyre brand. From the outstanding performance of our tyres, to our expert mechanics and friendly staff, you’re in safe hands with us. Find out more about us.

Customers who purchase two or more Bridgestone or Firestone passenger or run flat tyres from a Bridgestone store are eligible for our Bridgestone Road Hazard Warranty, subject to terms and conditions”.

This warranty covers your tyres from accidental damage including:

• Irreparable punctures
• Gutter damage
• Damage from potholes or uneven roads
• Breaks or cuts from foreign objects on the road

If your tyre is under 10% worn, it will be replaced free of charge. If it is over 10% worn, it will be replaced at a pro-rata cost.

The Bridgestone Wear Life Guarantee is available to customers who purchase four or more Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus tyres and have a wheel alignment in the same transaction, subject to terms and conditions”..

Under our guarantee, if your tyres wear out before travelling 50,000km, we will provide you with pro-rata credit towards the cost of replacement tyres. To make a claim under the Bridgestone Wear Life Guarantee, contact your local Bridgestone store. Find your nearest Bridgestone store.

It’s important to remember that good general vehicle and tyre maintenance will be taken into consideration when we assess a warranty claim. Make sure your tyres are correctly inflated and well aligned, to maximise your tyre life. As well as this, minimum legal tyre tread depth in Australia is 1.6mm, and warranty claims on tyres with less than 1.6mm of tread remaining will not be successful.

Find your local store by calling us on 131 229 or use our store finder.

While we may not provide every size variation, our range is constantly being updated and we may stock tyre sizes that aren’t displayed on our website. If you can’t find the size you are looking for, ask your local store whether they can find it for you. Call 131 229 or search for your nearest Bridgestone store.

The UTQG is a USA Department of Transport standard that helps customers compare tyre performance in terms of tread, traction and temperature. Passenger tyres manufactured or sold in the USA are required to be tested and the sidewall labelled to comply with this standard. While the standards are a good indicator provide a reference they are not a guarantee and it is important to keep in mind that tyre performance will vary depending on road conditions and use.

Tread, traction and temperature ratings are known as the Universal Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) standard. They represent comparative ratings based on tyre performance when tested under controlled conditions on specific government test courses

Treadwear: The wear rate of a tyre. The higher the number, the better the treadwear compared to other tyres in the test. For example, the wear rate of the Bridgestone Potenza RE003  is 220.

Traction: The ability of a tyre to stop on wet payment. This rating carries a code of, "A," "B," or "C", with "A" signifying the highest traction efficient.

Temperature: A tyre’s resistance to heat generation. A tyre’s heat resistance is determined by its ability to dissipate heat. This rating carries a code of "A," "B," or "C," with "A" signifying the highest level of heat dissipation.

It is important to keep in mind that these ratings are determined by each manufacturer. While they are a great tool for comparing similar tyres from the same manufacturer, results when comparing tyres from different manufacturers may be inconsistent.

Real life tyre performance is also dependent on road conditions, the type of vehicle and how your vehicle is driven. These variables may not be accounted for in a controlled testing environment.

If you’re looking for a tyre we no longer sell, get in touch with your local Bridgestone store. One of our team will be able to find you a suitable alternative, or place an order on your behalf if required. Call 131 229 or search for your nearest Bridgestone store.

You are legally required to replace your tyres when the tyre tread depth wears below 1.6mm. This will occur when your tyre wears level with the Tread-wear Indicators (TWI’s) positioned in the main tread grooves of your tyres. If your tread depth is below 3mm, you may also wish to replace your tyres to ensure better handling on the road.

If a tyre is older than 5 years from the date of manufacture it should be checked by a tyre professional each year for signs of age degradation. Tyres older than 10 years should be replaced regardless of wear. Your tyre dealer will be able to tell the age of a tyre from the serial number on the sidewall.

Maintaining your tyres and vehicle properly will allow you to maximise the wear life of your tyres. This means regularly checking and correcting your tyre pressure and wheel alignment, and rotating your tyres as required. Find out more about caring for your tyres.

We recommend you inflate your tyres to the manufacturer’s recommended tyre pressure. You can find this information on the driver’s side door frame, inside the fuel door, in the glove box, or in your car’s manual. Find out about tyre inflation pressure.

Nitrogen tyre inflation helps maintain tyre pressure, as well as delivering benefits for everyday driving such as better tyre life, and better fuel economy. As nitrogen molecules are significantly bigger than oxygen molecules, they reduce leakage to provide lasting tyre pressure.

Nitrogen inflation is not restricted to specific tyres and can be used on any air filled tyre. Talk to your local Bridgestone store to find out whether nitrogen inflation can help improve the performance of your tyres.

The rolling resistance of a tyre is the power needed to roll that tyre along the road. A ‘low rolling resistance’ tyre such as one from the Bridgestone Ecopia range will require less power to roll along the road, so has the potential to provide better fuel-economy for your car.

Run Flat tyres are designed to be capable of operating for a limited distance without air. If a puncture occurs, Run Flat tyres will allow you to keep control over your car, and drive to a safe place. In normal operation RFT tyres still require inflation to the pressure shown on the vehicle tyre placard. Not all vehicles can be fitted with Run Flat Tyres.

We recommend you choose the tyre size identified by your car’s manufacturer on your vehicle tyre placard. Changing your tyre size from the manufacturer’s standard may mean your car is no longer roadworthy, and might not be covered by your insurance. Use our tyre size calculator to find the right tyre size for your vehicle.

We use your vehicle’s original tyre size to determine which tyres fit your vehicle. If you use our online tyre size calculator, it’s important that you enter your vehicle’s make, model, and year correctly. You may also search for tyres using your vehicle’s registration or tyre size.

The sidewall of your tyre is the part between the edge of the wheel and the tread. If you look closely at the sidewall, you will notice a series of numbers that give you important information about your tyre’s specifications.
