BFGoodrich® Tires Roars into Sport Compact Scene at IAS
Long Beach, CA

Size matters. The BFGoodrich® brand's commitment to the sport- compact market, unveiled today at the SEMA-NOPI International Auto Salon, is huge.

The brand's 2001 initiatives include two of the hottest cars to hit the circuit, a national tour program, a partnership with one of the premier tuners in the business, and new tire sizes targeted for sport compacts. Additional significant elements of the brand's program will be announced in the coming months.

"We have a rich history of being the enthusiast's tire - the brand that always has its finger on the pulse of the market," said Mathew Aaron, brand manager for BFGoodrich Tires.

"The sport-compact market has emerged and grown more quickly than anyone could have imagined. We've worked hard to make sure BFGoodrich tires are prevalent on winning cars on the track, on the show floor and on the street. But we're not content with that. We're turning up the volume and making some strong commitments in 2001, and we'll be hard to miss. The announcements we've made today are just the beginning."

BFGoodrich Tires' 2001 initiatives include:
  • A 10-month national g-Force T/A® Tour program, developed with partners JUN and Super Street magazine and scheduled to be at more than 20 top sport-compact events;
  • Partnering with JUN to build a street-legal, max-handling car and a race-prepared, street-legal drag car. Both will be given away through a year-long sweepstakes;
  • Adding five new sport-compact sizes to the ultra-high-performance BFGoodrich g-Force T/A® KD lineup, which means that enthusiasts can now equip their sport- compact cars with the ultimate tire for dry traction; and,
  • Introducing seven Z-rated sizes to the Scorcher™ T/A® line, three available now and four in April.
The BFGoodrich® brand will be showing off its ultra-high-performance tires, the JUN drag and max-handling vehicles, and JUN products and accessories at booth #656 in the Long Beach Convention Center.

BFGoodrich® tires are made for people looking to take control of the driving experience. BFGoodrich tires combine technological expertise with the experience gained on and off the racetrack to offer a traction advantage for every type of vehicle and driving preference.
