	May 28, 2003 BFGoodrich Tires Adds Six 18-Inch Sizes To g-Force T/A™ Drag Radial Line GREENVILLE, S.C. BFGoodrich® Tires has added six 18-inch sizes to its g-Force T/A® Drag Radial line, the latest generation of the industry's first street-legal tire for drag racing. The six new sizes include: P245/40R18, P265/40R18, P275/35R18, P295/35R18, P315/30R18 and P345/30R18. With the new sizes, the g-Force T/A Drag Radial lineup now offers 13 dimensions, including three 14-inches, two 15-inch, two 17-inch and the six 18-inch sizes. "Our goal in developing the g-Force T/A Drag Radial line was to offer enthusiasts a competitive tire that was also comfortable to drive to and from the drag strip," explains Adam Murphy, performance marketing manager for BFGoodrich Tires. "The six new 18-inch sizes are designed to meet the needs of the tuner and sport compact markets." The g-Force T/A drag radial line has already made a name for itself by delivering record-setting results on the drag strip. The tire's exceptional traction provides peak performance during launch, and delivers faster, more consistent quarter-mile times. The g-Force T/A™ Drag Radial features: Proprietary compound and an innovative massive tread block design developed in competition - responsible for resistance to distortion, squirm and chunking under high-torque loads for maximized traction. Radial carcass construction - provides high-speed stability and control; it is compatible with radial tires used on the non-drive axle for good overall handling and balance on the street; reduces stresses for longer treadlife when compared to bias-ply tires. ETEC System™ (Equal Tension Containment) - resists centrifugal forces to ensure consistent footprint for maximum grip off the line and through the traps for high-speed confidence. Two full-width steel belts - stiffen crown to resist distortion under acceleration; reinforce tread area to resist punctures. BFGoodrich® tires, made for people looking to take control of the driving experience, combine technological expertise with the knowledge gained in motorsports to offer a traction advantage for almost every type of vehicle and driving preference.
