    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 5, 2002)—Bridgestone/Firestone has introduced the Road King Intimidator SR, an entry-level S- and T-speed-rated performance tire featuring BFS' UNI-T technology.

    UNI-T stands for “Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire Technology,” which combines three technologies: Core Optimized Component System (CO-CS), O-Bead and Long Link Carbon, BFS said.

    The Intimidator SR tread design features wide grooves designed to reduce hydroplaning and improve wet traction. It is available with a white letter sidewall or serrated band black wall, the tire maker said.

    The Intimidator SR comes with a 55,000-mile limited treadwear warranty and a 100-percent free replacement limited warranty, BFS said. It also has a 30-day test drive guarantee, allowing consumers to receive full refunds if they are not pleased with the tire within 30 days of purchase.

    The Road King Intimidator SR is available in 21 sizes (nine 70-series sizes, from P185/70R14 87S to P255/70R15 108S; in the 65 series in P215/65R15 95S; 10 60-series sizes from P185/60R14 82S to P275/60R15 107S; P205/55R16 89T in the 55 series).
