BFGoodrich’s maiden Dakar success dates back to 1999,and the American tyre brand, which belongs to the Michelin group, hasn’t been beaten on the world’s most exacting off-road rally since 2002.
Designed to take drivers to their next adventure, BFGoodrich Tyres introduces the Rugged Terrain T/A® tyre, the newest entry in BFGoodrich Tyres’ broad 4×4 and SUV tyre line-up.
Production capacity at Michelin North America’s Fort Wayne BFGoodrich plant will expand through a US$50 million investment.
This decision overturns the last two years of the WRC, where competitors were only able to compete on Pirelli’s control tyre, replacing BFGoodrich starting in the 2008 season.
