“Your Tires or Your Life” is one of two 30-second spots Bridgestone spots by The Richards Group in Super Bowl XLIV (see also "Whale of a Tale"). The marketer that year also continued its sponsorship of the halftime show (2012 entertainment: The Who). The set-up of the ad here evokes “Mad Max,” although the conclusion steers more toward Henny Youngman.
