NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 19, 2015) – Bridgestone Commercial, a division of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, has unveiled a new website for its Dayton™ commercial truck tire line, DaytonTruckTires.com.

“Dayton truck tires are designed for truckers – those small fleets and owner-operators focused on their work – keeping their head down and doing what it takes to keep moving,” said Matt Loos, Director of Truck & Bus Marketing, Bridgestone Commercial. “We’ve designed the site to be helpful and informative so drivers spend less time searching for product information and more time on the road. The site features our eight new Dayton tire patterns and new tagline, Tires for Truckers™, illustrating our commitment to keep truckers moving with Dayton.”

The new site is accessible across all devices (desktop, tablet and mobile) for ease of use throughout a trucker’s work day. To answer technical product questions truckers may have, a dedicated toll-free phone number is featured, which is answered by Dayton customer representatives. Or, users may opt for a ‘Contact Us’ form to submit comments or questions.

Other site features include a Find a Dealer tool with the ability to detect a driver’s location, a robust product catalog with custom filtering capabilities and an expanded resources page. Through the resources page, truckers can access the latest Dayton news, maintenance and warranty information, retread education and access links to helpful industry tools and information such as Bridgestone’s Truck Tires Learning Center, trucking associations, the EPA SmartWay® program, and trucking media sites.
