Put Your Mind At Ease About SUV Tires
May 16, 2003

An Expert Explains How To Protect Your Family

SUV tires have been the subject of some alarming news reports over the past few years. With BFGoodrich® Tires you can drive with confidence. Longtime product engineer Ed Dunlap sheds some reassuring light on an important topic:

Q: Should people who drive SUVs have serious concerns about their tires?
A. Not if you pick the proper SUV tires and maintain them properly, which Includes checking the air pressure at least monthly and before any long trip, and rotating your tires at recommended intervals. BFGoodrich Tires has always been a leader in SUV, jeep and pickup tires and we take tire quality and performance very seriously. BFGoodrich is part of the Michelin group, so when you buy BFGoodrich, you're getting tires built to the quality standards of two of the world's highest quality tire makers.

Q. How do BFGoodrich tires differ from tires from other manufacturers in terms of SUV safety?
A. Our racing experience gives us an advantage other tire makers don't have. BFG® tires have won 17 straight Baja 1000 races, and we have been able to put the toughness and resiliency that it takes to survive 1000 kilometers of desert racing into the tires we build for everyday driving. The qualities that enable our tires to win off-road races make them more than ready to handle the everyday challenges of normal driving.*

Q: Are BFGoodrich tires too rugged to provide a comfortable ride and great mileage for my SUV, if I'm not concerned with all-out off-road racer-style performance?
A: Not at all. We build a wide range of light truck tires (the kind that fit SUVs) to accommodate every kind of driving, terrain and performance need. Besides the All-Terrain T/A® KO and Mud-Terrain T/A® KM, we offer tires like the Radial Long Trail T/A® and Rugged Trail T/A®, which are original equipment on trucks from General Motors, Ford, Daimler Chrysler, Toyota and Nissan. To qualify as original equipment for these passenger vehicles, our tires must meet stringent manufacturer requirements for safety, traction, smooth ride, excellent fuel economy and long wear. You can't do better than BFG tires for your SUV.
