New Infiniti FX Equipped Only With Bridgestone-Brand Tires

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 08, 2008) — The 2009 Infiniti FX rides exclusively on Bridgestone-brand Dueler™ tires.

The Bridgestone Dueler H/P 92A™ in size P265/60R18 109V is standard equipment on the V6-powered FX35 and FX35 AWD while the 390-horsepower, V8-powered FX50 is shod with Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400™ tires in size P265/45R21 104V. This Dueler H/L 400 is the first-ever application of a 21-inch tire on Infiniti’s sporty crossover.

Size P265/50R20 106V Dueler H/P 92A tires are also available as optional equipment for the V6-powered 2009 Infiniti FX35 and FX35 AWD.

Both Dueler-brand tires live up to the high performance standards Infiniti owners demand – from an aggressive look and excellent handling to a refined, comfortable ride.

And for gaining the advantage on snow and ice covered roads, Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire, LLC (BFNT) offers a Bridgestone-brand Blizzak™ DM-Z3™ winter tire in all three original equipment sizes for the Infiniti FX.
