Firestone signs multi-year extension as IndyCar's sole tire supplier
One of the NTT IndyCar Series’ great relationships will continue as Firestone is set to remain as the sole tire provider for Penske Entertainment’s marquee championship and its top development series with Indy NXT.
The subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas has been IndyCar’s lone choice for tires for 25 years — since Goodyear withdrew from the series— and will continue for more seasons to come under a “long-term extension,” according to the company.

“At Bridgestone, motorsports are our passion – always have been and always will be,” said Paolo Ferrari, Bridgestone Americas CEO. “This is particularly true for our Firestone brand, which has been part of world-class racing since winning the first Indy 500 in 1911. We believe motorsports are the ultimate challenge for premium performance and a proving ground for advancing in our goals towards sustainable innovation. Our relationship with the NTT IndyCar Series has been a critical part of these efforts, and we are proud to keep driving forward together.”
Series owner Roger Penske was one of many dignitaries to take part in the announcement ceremonies at the Bridgestone Americas headquarters in Tennessee.
“Our relationship with the team at Bridgestone continues to set an industry standard for success and innovation,” Penske said. “Firestone has been a foundational partner for our sport, from the very first Indy 500 to now, playing an integral role in the development of the NTT IndyCar Series and its highly competitive racing. We’re extremely proud to carry this long-term partnership forward into a very exciting and productive future together.”
