What is "bfgoodrich"

BFGoodrich is a former American manufacturer of tires. Originally part of the industrial conglomerate Goodrich Corporation, it was acquired in 1990 (along with Uniroyal, then The Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Company) by the French tire maker Michelin. Prior to the sale, BFGoodrich was the first American tire manufacturer to make radial tires. It made tires for the then new Winton car.

BFGoodrich tires have been fitted to several noteworthy historical vehicles:

• In 1903 The first car to cross the United States was fitted with BFGoodrich tires.
• In 1927 Charles Lindbergh's airplane, the " Spirit of St. Louis," which made the first successful non-stop flight across the Atlantic, was fitted with BFGoodrich tires.
• In 1977 The Columbia space shuttle was fitted with BFGoodrich tires during construction.

BFGoodrich have been involved with several competitions and enjoyed success with 17 victories at the Baja California Competitions and 5 times winner of the Paris–Dakar Rally. It was also the tire supplier for the 2006 and 2007 seasons of the World Rally Championship.
