"What a way to end the desert-racing season," said Jeff Cummings, off-road motorsports manager for BFGoodrich Tires. "Our tires have been solid performers all season long and the result is that we can once again say the Baja T/A tire is the 'Best In The Desert'." The BFGoodrich Baja T/A is the only professional-grade ultra-high-performance tire offered to the public. The Baja T/A features an extremely aggressive tread pattern, TriGard® Plus construction for serious durability and an unmatched record of success. The Baja T/A is designed to provide excellent off-road soft surface traction with more tread element edges and greater side "bite" and lateral traction versus other light-truck tires. The tread area offers excellent protection against punctures and bruises and through the use of a stronger lower sidewall, the tire offers more precise steering response and cornering for any situation from local trails to the desert racing courses of Baja, Mexico. 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. For more than 30 years, BFGoodrich Tires has used 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 18 consecutive Baja 1000 wins, the winningest tire in rock-crawling history, and an unmatched record on pavement, BFGoodrich Tires has proven the only records it breaks are its own. |
