g-Force Sport |
|
The g-Force
Sport is BFGoodrich's Ultra High Performance Summer
tire developed for the drivers of sport compact sedans
and coupes looking to combine good looks, dry handling
and affordable prices. The g-Force Sport is designed to
provide traction in dry and wet conditions, however it
is not intended to be driven in near freezing
temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The g-Force Sport molds BFGoodrich's BlackTech tread
compound into a directional tread design with large
independent shoulder blocks, g-Hook intermediate ribs,
two continuous center ribs and two wide circumferential
rain channels to provide proficient dry braking,
cornering and straight-line stability. The tire's
internal structure includes twin, high tensile steel
belts reinforced by BFGoodrich's ETEC System (Equal
TEnsion Containment) of spirally wound nylon to
stabilize the tread area enhancing handling and
high-speed capability. A dimensionally stable polyester
cord body supported by g-control sidewall inserts help
resist lateral deflection to generate cornering force
and stability.

g-Force T/A KDW 2 |
|
The BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW (""KDW"" for Key
feature: Dry and Wet traction) is the Ultra High
Performance Summer tire that was developed to provide a
blend of superior dry and wet road performance. The
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW is available in sizes for the
drivers of the world's hottest sports cars, coupes and
sedans. The g-Force T/A KDW is not intended to be driven
in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The g-Force T/A KDW features large tread blocks to
enhance dry road stability, handling and wear under high
torque loads, while rounded shoulder profiles help
provide feedback for the driver which communicates the
tire's progressive and predictable characteristics as
they reach their limits of adhesion. A silica-reinforced
tread compound with wide circumferential and lateral
grooves form a directional tread design to speed water
evacuation, improved wet traction and reduce the risk of
hydroplaning. This basic tread design technology is
shared with the g-Force T/A radial racing rain tires
used in the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Trans Am
Series. Internally, the twin steel belts are reinforced
by BFGoodrich's ETEC (Equal TEnsion Containment) System
which uses spirally wound nylon strips to provide
excellent strength, consistent footprint pressure and
maximum contact area while it reduces weight and helps
provide more uniform ride quality. The g-Force T/A KDW
tires feature g-Control sidewall inserts to resist
deflection and generate cornering force while rim
protector ribs help protect alloy wheels from curb
damage.

Radial T/A |

BFGoodrich uses their g-Wedge technology to make the
best performing Radial T/A ever. Derived from the
high modulus sidewall stabilizer design found in the
most advanced and highest speed-rated Comp T/A radials,
G-Wedge technology provides the necessary torsional
integrity for enhanced lateral stability, while
delivering a smooth, comfortable ride. The Radial T/A's
reversible sidewall, which offers a choice of a clean
blackwall look or raised white letter styling, makes it
a perfect choice for muscle car and sport truck
fitments.

Long Trail T/A Tour |
|
The Long Trail T/A Tour is BFGoodrich’s Highway
All-Season light truck tire developed for crossover and
sport utility vehicle drivers looking for tires that can
provide precision on the road in all seasons without
sacrificing comfort and wear life. The Long Trail T/A
Tour is designed to deliver mile after mile in dry, wet
and wintry conditions, even in light snow.
The Long Trail T/A Tour molds an all-season tread rubber
compound into a symmetric tread pattern that features a
closed shoulder design of contoured blocks for crisp
handling and precise cornering on the road while a rigid
center rib provides positive on-center feel at highway
speeds. Strategic siping in all of the tread blocks
increases the biting edges needed for foul weather
traction by enhancing grip in the rain and snow. The
tire’s internal structure includes twin steel belts
reinforced by BFGoodrich’s Equal Tension Containment (ETEC)
System of spirally wrapped nylon to help the tire retain
its shape at highway speeds for a controlled ride and
enhanced durability while a two-ply polyester carcass
helps soak up road shock and resist sidewall flex.

The Rugged Trail T/A is BFGoodrich's On-/Off-Road
All-Terrain Light Truck tire designed for pickup, jeep
and sport utility vehicle drivers who desire aggressive
off-road looks combined with low rolling resistant,
lightweight construction, along with low noise, and
year-round traction, even in light snow. While the
Rugged Trail T/A was originally developed to be meet the
Original Equipment requirements of vehicle
manufacturers, its size range has been expanded to fit a
wide range of light truck applications.
The Rugged Trail T/A molds an all-season tread rubber
compound into a computer designed symmetric tread
pattern tuned to meet the needs of each Original
Equipment vehicle with independent intermediate tread
blocks to provide the biting edges to enhance foul
weather traction. On the inside, the Rugged Trail T/A
features twin steel belts reinforced by BFGoodrich's
Equal TEnsion Containment System (ETEC System) to
enhance durability along with a flexible,
shock-absorbing two-ply polyester cord sidewall to
provide a comfortable highway ride.

All-Terrian T/A KO |

"The All-Terrain T/A KO (""KO"" for Key benefit
On- and Off-road) is BFGoodrich's On-/Off-Road
All-Terrain light truck tire developed to meet the needs
of pickup truck and sport utility vehicle drivers who
want confidence and control on and off the road. The
All-Terrain T/A KO was designed to deliver go-anywhere
traction along with outstanding durability and great
wear.
The All-Terrain T/A KO features an aggressive,
computer-optimized, high-void, all-terrain pattern with
interlocking tread blocks and innovative siping to
provide traction and handling without generating
excessive noise. ""ShoulderLock"" upper sidewall
traction bars maximize aired-down performance by provide
the clawing action necessary to develop traction and
steering control in deep dirt and sand. The tire's
internal structure includes twin steel belts on top of
BFGoodrich's TriGard (3-ply polyester cord sidewall
plies) construction for strength and durability. Single
strand beads (a single strand of bead wire is
continuously wrapped multiple times until the desired
strength is provided) enhance the tire's fit to the
wheel to improve uniformity and ride quality, while rim
protectors molded into the lower sidewall help shelter
wheels from off-road hazards, especially during
aired-down operation.
NOTE: While most BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires
meet the industry's severe snow service requirements
(and are branded with the mountain/snowflake symbol),
selected tires do not. Specific tires/sizes not meeting
the industry's severe snow service requirements are
identified with a ""Not Rated For Severe Snow"" notation
on the Sizes & Pricing, as well as on Specs."

Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 |
|
The BFGoodrich
Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 (KM for Key feature: Mud
traction and 2 identifying it as BFGoodrich's 2nd
generation KM tire) is an Off-Road Maximum Traction tire
developed for off-roaders driving full-sized, lifted
trucks that participate in rock climbing and/or other
challenging off-road driving. The Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 is
designed from the mud up to overcome almost any obstacle
in its path by combining more traction and mud-clearing
ability than its predecessor with a smoother ride and
less road noise than normally expected from an
aggressive tire.
The Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 molds an off-road tread compound
into a Krawler T/A KX-inspired symmetric design that
features deep, self-cleaning independent tread blocks
and linear transverse flex zones that provide the
elasticity needed to allow the tire to conform to
off-road obstacles when aired-down and driven at low
speeds.
The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts
and BFGoodrich's Krawler TEK sidewalls and carcass.
Krawler TEK consists of three components that include
aggressive sidewall lugs, cut- and chip-resistant
sidewall compounds and BFGoodrich's TriGard carcass
(three-ply polyester construction) with sidewall cords
that are up to 33 percent stronger than the previous
Mud-Terrain T/A KM tire. These advancements allow for
more bite and sidewall protection along with increased
strength and resistance to bruising caused by rocks and
rough trails. Single strand beads (a single strand of
bead wire is continuously wrapped multiple times until
the desired strength is provided) enhance the tire's fit
to the wheel to improve uniformity and ride quality.
