2 New Ads For Bridgestone Tires Send All-Pro Larry Fitzgerald and All-Star P.K. Subban On Long Drives For Ice-Cream

Bridgestonen today released its latest advertising campaign, leveraging its Official Tire status with the NFL and NHL showcasing two of today's most popular athletes: Larry Fitzgerald P.K. Subban.

In a commercial titled "Go Long", Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals explains the benefits of the Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus tire. Fitzgerald, who is recognized for his long hair and ability to stretch the field, "goes long" to show the long-lasting durability of the Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus tire, which is backed by an industry-leading 80,000 mile limited treadwear warranty.

"It was great being on set with these guys and to learn more about the company," said Fitzgerald. "I'm excited to be on board as they are such a quality brand and have been a long-time supporter of the NFL."

The second commercial titled "Ice Cream", Nashville Predators defenseman, P.K. Subban, recipient of the 2013 Norris Trophy and a two-time NHL® All-Star, puts Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 winter tires to the test through a winter obstacle course with the help of Bridgestone engineers.

"Being involved with a brand that truly understands the needs of its customers is important to me, and I'm excited to help Bridgestone educate drivers on the safety benefits of Blizzak winter tires," said Subban. "Bridgestone is based in Nashville, has their name on my home barn and supports hockey and the local community. Working with them is a natural fit."
