Streaking Across The DesertMay 8, 2003 BFGoodrich® Tires Dominate World's Most Grueling Off-Road Races Last fall, BFGoodrich® tires racked up their unprecedented 17th straight overall victory in the SCORE Baja 1000, on Dan Smith and David Ashley's race truck. In January, BFGoodrich tires scored a fourth straight win in the Paris-Dakar Rally, where Hiroshi Masuoka and Andreas Schulz drove to victory. Between the Baja 1000 and Paris-Dakar, BFGoodrich tires dominate the longest, most-grueling off-road races in the world. There's a reason for that, says five-time Baja 1000 winner Larry Ragland: BFGoodrich tires are tough and fast. "I've finished -- and won," says Ragland, "on a wheel that has broken -- a chunk of metal near the bead had been broken off by a rock, but the tire was still holding air, and we kept going. 
"I've finished other races on tires where there's not even any semblance of tread left, where the cords are loose and flying, and the steel is showing. When I see them, I'm amazed that they will still be holding air."It's brutal, the hammering the tires take, and it's amazing to me at what speed you can hit things and that the tires survive. I've always felt that we have a tremendous advantage running BFGs. There's no doubt about it -- there's no other tire." |
