BFGoodrich was the first tyre manufacturer in the United States, tires produced by the company have been used on a host of historic vehicles including the very first car to traverse the width of the US as well as the tyre of choice on 5 winning vehicles in the Paris to Dakar rally, without a doubt the toughest race in the world on man and machine.
BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres are commonly found on SUVs (sports utility vehicles) and some trucks. All-terrain tyres are at home on the road as well as off the road, they are built to last, they are very resistant to punctures and usually have stronger sidewalls to take the abuse of off-road driving.
There is a common misunderstanding among many vehicle owners, they are of the opinion that BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres and all-season tyres are the same; they are not. As the name implies, all-season tyres provide a smooth ride regardless of the season. Conversely, BFGoodrich were instrumental in developing all-terrain tyres to allow drivers to take their vehicles off-road. You will know BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres when you see them, they have a large tread for increased traction as well as expelling mud and rock that is commonly incurred off road.
Of all the tyres that are commonly available, BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres are the toughest and the most durable, this is the primary reason they are the favourite tyre of off-road enthusiasts. It is rare for any product to cover all requirements; all-terrain tyres are no different. They are ideal for what they are intended to do but they are not quite as forgiving as normal tyres, the vehicle is a little more difficult to control and there is more road noise due to the tread design. For the advocate of off-road driving these are issues that are easily adapted too.
Owners of vehicles that spend most of their time off-road would never consider any tyre other than BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres. These tyres can be used in mud, over rocks and creek beds, wherever the owner wants to take the vehicle, the large tread pattern is specifically designed for these types of road surfaces but they can be driven on surfaced roads as well, they are truly a universal tyre.
There are a couple of different BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres, one with an open pattern tread that is great for both off-road and roads as well as one with an aggressive tread pattern for mud and difficult terrain.
