SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 6, 2025 – For everyday drivers looking to upgrade their ride with peace of mind and long-lasting performance, Firestone has just unveiled its newest touring tire, the Affinity AS. Designed for sedans and crossover utility vehicles (CUVs), this all-season tire promises a smooth, quiet drive and reliable grip—rain or shine.
A Quieter Ride with Confidence in Every Turn
Drivers know that comfort and safety go hand-in-hand when it comes to tires. That’s why the Firestone Affinity AS is engineered with a special tread compound that not only reduces road noise and vibration but also helps resist uneven and premature wear. Whether you're commuting daily or heading out for a weekend trip, this tire aims to deliver a consistently smooth and controlled ride.
Key performance enhancements include:
- Diagonal and lateral sipes that improve handling and traction in wet weather
- Deep tread grooves to reduce noise and absorb harshness
- A long-lasting tread life that supports everyday reliability
“Our new touring offering, the Affinity AS tire, is designed to deliver confident handling, a quiet ride and long wear life for mainstream sedans,” said Brad Robison, director of consumer product strategy at Bridgestone Americas. “With impressive wet-weather grip and longevity, the Affinity AS tire is built for the drivers who appreciate strong performance and good value.”
Ideal for Everyday Vehicles and All-Season Use
The Affinity AS is a practical choice for drivers who want dependable year-round performance without switching to winter-specific tires. It fills a sweet spot in the Firestone lineup—positioned right between the budget-friendly Firestone All Season and the more rugged Firestone WeatherGrip.
Currently, the Affinity AS fits vehicles with 15- to 19-inch rims and is ideal for most mainstream cars and CUVs. Nine size options are available now, with an additional 19 fitments rolling out throughout 2025.
Where to Find the Firestone Affinity AS
The new Affinity AS touring tire is available at Firestone retail partners across the U.S. and through authorized online retailers. Whether you're replacing worn-out tires or upgrading for a smoother experience, now is a great time to consider an option that blends comfort, durability, and value.
Why This Tire Might Be Right for You
With the Affinity AS, Firestone aims to give drivers:
- More peace of mind on wet roads
- A quieter, more pleasant drive
- Better tire longevity for fewer replacements
- Strong all-season performance without the need for winter certification
