BFGoodrich® Tires Sweep 2002 Rock Crawling Events
Greenville, SC

BFGoodrich® tires have swept the UROC and RCAA championship rock crawling titles for 2002, and the tremors are being felt by the competitive field.

Vehicles shod with BFGoodrich tires have been victorious in key rock crawling competitions in 2002, winning 21 of 33 class competitions in UROC, ProRock, RCAA, EROCC, and CalRoc events. The brand can claim a total of 5 season championships by teams equipped with BFGoodrich Krawler KX tires, Mud Terrain T/A® KM tires and Baja T/A tires, with the latest wins at the SkyJacker National Rockcrawling Championship for Women in Cedar City, Utah, September 10 - 12 and the Superlift Utah Rockcrawling Championships, also in Cedar City, September 13 - 15.

"This is the moment we have worked hard for, and this tire's performance says it all," said Scott Dishman, brand category manager, BFGoodrich® Tires. "Our goal was to develop the ultimate off-road tire for this type of competition. We set out to win and our success this year has been nothing short of phenomenal."

Rock crawling, a new and exciting event which presents competitors, their vehicles and especially their tires, with brutal terrain and treacherous obstacles, has experienced a groundswell of fans and attention. BFGoodrich® tires sponsored what may have been the very first competitive rock crawling event in 1999 at Las Cruces, N.M., and continues its rich heritage of being the dominant off-road light truck tire in the market. BFGoodrich® tires has offered contingency awards for many of these competitions in 2002 and routinely provides free repair and maintenance service to all of the competitors.

The tires of choice for rock crawling, BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A® KM and the Krawler T/A® KX, feature the characteristics of authentic performance that sets BFGoodrich tires apart from the competition.

BFGoodrich® tires, made for people looking to take control of the driving experience, combine technological expertise with the experience gained in motorsports to offer a traction advantage for almost every type of vehicle and driving preference.
