March 29, 2005 BFGoodrich® Tires Adds Seven New Sizes To World's Largest Tire Line; Ultra-High Performance g-Force™ T/AKDW Tire Line Now Totals 92 Sizes Greenville, S.C. The world's largest single tire line and largest ultra-high performance tire line just got bigger. BFGoodrich® Tires has added seven new sizes to the g-Force™ T/AKDW tire line bringing the total number of sizes to 92. The new tires include sizes to fit 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheels. "There is no coincidence that the world's largest tire line is also an ultra-high performance tire line," said Thom Peebles, BFGoodrich Tires brand director. "Today, more and more vehicle owners are looking for additional performance out of their car and g-Force T/AKDW tires are designed specifically for this purpose. With 92 sizes ranging from 15- to 24-inches, the g-Force T/AKDW tire covers more than 85 percent of the Z speed-rated (150 miles per hour and above) ultra-high performance tire marketplace." "The g-Force line of tires takes race track performance and engineering and packages it in a consumer tire," says John Hampson, high-performance tire category manager for BFGoodrich Tires. "These seven new sizes give our dealers even more options to offer consumers looking to seriously upgrade the performance of their vehicle." The g-Force T/AKDW tire has something for everyone. Perfect for sport-compact applications, two- and four-wheel drive set-ups and SUVs sporting dubs (the tire is strong enough to handle many truck load capacity requirements) the g-Force T/AKDW tire is BFGoodrich Tires' powerline. The g-Force T/AKDW tire is the tire industry's trend setter. The world's first 24-inch tire and the world's first 20-inch fitment for sport-compact vehicles were both g-Force T/AKDW tires. Both versions revolutionized the customizing and tuning industries, adding a new dimension to the way enthusiasts look at wheel and tire combinations. The choice of hip-hop impresarios, professional and extreme athletes, Hollywood's A-list and anyone looking for the ultimate combination of looks and performance, the g-ForceKDW tire has grown in popularity – and number of fitments – since it first hit the scene. 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. Success on the street begins with winning on the track and BFGoodrich Tires is involved in every type of racing, including oval, road, drag, desert and extreme rock-crawling. With 19 consecutive Baja 1000 wins, the most wins in rock-crawling history and an unmatched record on pavement, BFGoodrich Tires has proven the only records it breaks are its own.
