May 28, 2003 BFGoodrich® Tires Adds Five More Sport Compact Sizes to g-Force T/A® KDW Line Greenville, South Carolina BFGoodrich® Tires is adding five more sizes for sport compact cars to its g-Force T/A® KDW line expanding its product line to meet additional size requirements. The new sizes are: 215/45ZR17, 225/45ZR17, 245/40ZR18, 215/35ZR18 and 235/35ZR19. Sizes for Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) are also being added to the g-Force T/AKDW line, including a P325/55R22 for the HUMMER H2, as well as a selection of 18-, 20-, 22- and 23-inch dimensions. By year-end, the g-Force T/AKDW line will total nearly 40 sizes for a broad range of vehicles, from sport compacts to performance sedans, SUVs and sport trucks. With the g-Force T/AKDW tire, drivers will receive top-level performance in both wet and dry conditions. The tire provides excellent traction and handling, resists hydroplaning and consistently demonstrates high marks for progressivity, on-center steering response and feel and driver feedback. Important to the tire's performance is its silica-reinforced tread compound, which provides exceptional grip in both wet and dry conditions. The unidirectional tread design contributes to the tire's traction, while deep, wide grooves speed water evacuation and reduce hydroplaning for superb grip in the wet. Large block elements enhance stability, wear and handling under high-torque conditions. Tall, high-volume g-Control™ sidewall inserts help resist deflection, generate cornering forces and provide lateral firmness. Dimensionally stable polyester carcass plies and the BFGoodrich's patented ETEC System™ (Equal Tension Containment System) give the tire excellent strength, a consistent footprint, a maximized tread contact area and a smooth ride. The ETEC System helps control distortion when the tire is subjected to high centrifugal forces. The tire's rounded shoulder profile contributes to its breakaway, predictability and feedback at the limit of adhesion - all very important characteristics in ultra-high-performance driving. 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. |
