Firestone Launches Pathway AS All-Season Tyre
The new touring tyre is offered in 73 sizes and covers 77 per cent of registered vehicles.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Car Types
Firestone has launched the Pathway AS, an all-season touring tyre designed for passenger cars, crossovers, and sport utility vehicles. The tyre is backed by a 105,000-kilometre (65,000-mile) limited treadwear warranty.
Why it matters
The Pathway AS replaces the predecessor Firestone All Season tyre, with the sizing matrix expanded from 48 variants to 73. Consolidating stock around high-coverage product lines is intended to reduce inventory carrying costs and speed order fulfillment for retail tyre dealers.
Bridgestone internal testing reported an 11.7 per cent reduction in wet stopping distance compared with the predecessor Firestone All Season tyre. The tyre is offered in 73 sizes, up from an initial 48 variants, but the source does not independently verify the test results.
