January 17, 2005BFGoodrich Tires Gives New Pony Cool Shoes; g-Force™ Tires Offered As Upgrade on 2006 Ford Mustang GT Greenville, SC BFGoodrich Tires is giving a new pony some faster shoes. Enthusiasts purchasing the new 2006 Ford Mustang GT coupe and convertible can select 18-inch BFGoodrich g-Force™ tires to outfit their ride improving not only the looks of a legend, but also the performance. "The combination of the Ford Mustang and BFGoodrich tires is the perfect match of performance and style," said Thom Peebles, brand director for BFGoodrich Tires. "BFGoodrich g-Force tires offer the kind of performance you would expect when upgrading from the standard 17-inch tires on the Ford Mustang GT." This is the first time that an 18-inch wheel and tire has been offered by Ford on its popular Mustang and was showcased this month on the Ford Mustang GT convertible at both the Los Angeles Auto Show and the North American International Auto Show (Detroit). When selecting the new upgrade, customers will receive an entirely new look including larger wheels and g-Force tires (size: 255/45R18) featuring an aggressive tread pattern that combines the best of both dry and wet performance into one tire. 
"The design of the g-Force tire tread pattern is based upon extensive research and testing and includes multiple compounds to maximize performance," says Peebles. "The tire not only performs, but looks incredible on the Mustang. The upgraded package gives customers who want a unique look with improved performance, the best of both worlds."
The 18-inch g-Force T/A tire is the largest original equipment tire ever offered as an option on the Ford Mustang GT and the 18-inch size continues to be one of the most popular plus-size upgrades. The g-Force tire line is not only the largest ultra-high performance line in the world, it's also the single largest tire line in the world with 85 total sizes fitting wheels from 15-inches to 24-inches in diameter. The Ford Mustang GT Coupe is the most affordable 300-horsepower sports car available today and has been part of the most aggressive rollout of new cars, trucks and SUVs in Ford history. With the addition of this new upgrade package, BFGoodrich Tires and Ford continue to build on a more than 100-year relationship that began with Henry Ford selecting BFGoodrich tires for his 1903 Ford Model A. 
BFGoodrich Tires combines technological expertise with vast motorsports experience, delivering a high-performance tire for every type of vehicle from ultra-high performance tuner vehicles, sports cars and SUVs to the hottest sport trucks, pickups and rock-crawling rigs in the world.
BFGoodrich Tires has built its reputation on using motorsports as a proving ground.
