Or, test the authentic performance of BFGoodrich tires for yourself by participating in the BFGoodrich "Kick Asphalt" event, which is being held in the Bond Street parking lot adjacent to the Convention Center. "When we talk about authentic performance, we're referring to all of the elements that go into making BFGoodrich tires what they are today," said Adam Murphy, high-performance marketing manager. "BFG has a rich heritage in the performance market, and we've gained technical expertise through our involvement in motorsports, which dates back to the first-ever street radial used in competition. When we say that the performance of our tires has been authenticated and improved through competition, we have more than three decades of experience to back it up." Inside the Convention Center, the BFG display's metal-truss construction, contemporary lighting and large fabric art panels provide a futuristic backdrop for the array of tires and vehicles on display. New BFGoodrich Tires posters featuring the Japan GT Championship-winning Toyota and the record-setting Titan Motorsports Supra are available free-of-charge. All visitors, who register to win a set of BFGoodrich tires, or one of 10 G-Tech Performance Pro Meters, will also receive a BFG CD.
