The Truth About BFGoodrich

[@chgotbanned]

My mom works at BF Goodrich, I've had 3 sets of Sport Comp 2s, I wouldnt buy another performance summer tire for the price, for a sporty car.

[@adamm2716]

indy 500s ftw!!!

[@chgotbanned]

@Patrick Ross I have some spare ones but they are sixteens not 15 and I don't see why they wouldn't have 205 55 for you to buy

[@chgotbanned]

@Patrick Ross I'm not sure there than man you would have to ask around at some tire stores

[@evogibson92]

try out a set of federal 595ss. the bfg's like to chunk when you slide or skid on em, the federals do no such thing, and feel like they have more latteral grip.

[@tylerc9809]

Sport comp 2’s are dope af. Ive had several sets. That tread pattern and performance are awesome.

[@thorcain1555]

BFG been making trucks tyres for ever.. they’re also the most winning off road tyres too.

[@pete5534]

Shame BFG has slowed their interest in road going high performance summer tires. I am a big fan of their now discontinued g-Force Sport Comp2.

[@rex_s80]

lol ended up here after looking up reviews for the bfg advantage T/A sport for a daily/to be rally car.

[@flat6targa]

My dad had one of the very first pairs of bfg mud terrain ta tires when they came out in the late 70 early 80s. The dealer didn’t know they existed yet when he ordered them.

[@ggeiser3]

Being a former Senior Industrial Engineer with BF Goodrich in Akron I found this interesting and well done. Thanks. I was there for the 100th anniversary in 1970. They had just built the new World Headquarters building across from the plant. A grey marble building which contrasted with the huge red brick plant buildings. Today that building houses the GoJo headquarters. BFG itself left tires and is currently into aerospace only. Goodrich tires are a Michelin product now and carry that patented sidewall name since it was bought 100% by Michelin. We produced radial tires first in the USA before others like Goodyear began doing it. Goodrich did go into racing a lot but those radials cheated a little because the term radial was defined in the industry as “essentially a 90 degree bias”. Those larger “radials” were actually bias ply tires but with a shallow bias of maybe ten degrees so as to comply with the term radial legally but not factually. That made the sidewalls a little stiffer and improved the race car handling over a pure 90 degree radial. That was long ago and has no doubt changed since I left in 1974.

Hold up, "Ak-RON" 😂😂

[@Lunar.Eclipse.99]

Right?! Lol I'm not too far from Akron and I had to replay that just to make sure I heard him say that.

[@mcleanblades9234]

Ak-run

[@heavychevy383]

ive ran bfg's for years... great tires... running the new bfg comp a/s on my 98 formula, & white letter bfg's on my 71 chevy... & for my money, theres just nothing cooler than cragar super sports with white letter bf goodrich ta radials on an old muscle car!

[@Khaliq_Esaw]

you guys are the real MVP, make car guys and gals feel more comfy knowing about the history about what we are buying and looking up You make me proud!! P.S. are yall hiring....asking for a broke friend trying to buy car parts for a subaru.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Thanks for the support man! As of right now we are currently not hiring! ☹️

[@Khaliq_Esaw]

Fitment Industries it’s okay I won the bet that you guys would answer😁😏

[@skylinefever]

I needed to install new 225/40/18 tires on my car a few years ago and I don't use generics, and BFG tires were ordered. They work well for me. One thing that made BFG successful was the radial tires they made in the 1960s. They were really popular on muscle cars. Some muscle cars were built with them, others used them as replacements. The other thing that made them successful was the BFG KO all terrain tire, which is practically the standard in offroading.

[@maxxas5067]

Alex lookin like a steak smothered in A1 No Homo

[@FitmentIndustries]

**PAUSE** 😂😂

[@regalcatnetwork8068]

Interesting I have BFG sport comp 2’s on my Focus and michelin defenders on my Fusion, I had a feeling the tires were related somehow and this video confirms it.

[@rvarghese3062]

Nice to see... I would like to more about Falken and Yokohama and of course Pirelli tires so.... Waiting for something regarding these.....

[@Lunar.Eclipse.99]

Ack-rin it's pronounced like that. I couldn't not say it.

[@jbrockskill]

thats what i thought. Im from TX tho idk if that matters.

[@TheProgGuy]

I know Fitment Industries is more geared towards the car fitment/wheel, tire and suspension community, but why don't you offer anything for SUVs or Trucks? Like I'd love to buy 31x10.50r15 BFG K02's from you guys cause you're a local company, but you don't seem to offer any wheels or tires for "bigger" applications like that. I would love to see your gallery filled with truck, SUV, Jeep & Offroad vehicles so we can find our ideal fitment for our heavier vehicles like that.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Well we could do that but Custom Offsets has that covered already! You should go check out to see if they have the wheels your looking for!

[@philspaghet]

Can you do Federal tires next? Not too long ago Federal was an unknown but now everyone knows about the RSR

[@FitmentIndustries]

Def on the list stay tuned! 👀

[@maxxx.malvar]

Achilles , Sailun , Pirelli or Yokohama next!

[@FlyGuy457]

You got Akron correct, you missed on hoses however. Just kidding, I can't focus because of the tremendous beard growth..

[@wangonguy62]

Would love to see a video about Ride Tech air suspension.

[@tdennis34]

Word on the street is that BFG has some badass new stuff in the hopper. I know a guy. 😜

[@RecklessEnterainment]

There’s a summit racing in Akron lol

[@edreddog]

[@NicoDeemus]

Tell us something about Nokian Tyres? It would be interesting hearding something about it by you! Keep these going.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Great suggestion we will have to take a look at that!

[@judpowell1756]

[@Catalina._]

BoyFriendisGOODbecauseheisRICH

[@judpowell1756]

they merged with Uniroyal first....they also invented the radial tire

[@VinnieNiZero]

still w the excellent brands, when are you going to horrible ones? hurry do!!

[@ismaelelmassaoudigonzalez7646]

If it's such a big company how come I've never heard of it

[@user-vk6lf6wk7j]

They are not very popular in Mexico. Too much dinero.

[@lukerinehart3233]

[@MarkFreeman-kd2hz]

[@bobbylininger5022]

Akrons a mediocre place, i would know....i live there.....but hooray someone on the internet is talking about it!

[@ggeiser3]

I left in 1974. South Florida now. Enjoy the snow, ice, salted roads and rusty cars!

[@mfv5692]

I purchased some BF good rich advantage tires My fuel economy has dropped about 5 miles a gallon has anyone experienced this before

[@cloroxlavenderscent4307]

Have you tried putting more air. Usually the less air in your tire the more rolling resistance you have. Like if the door calls for 35 psi try 37 psi.

[@antonp555]

Westlake next por pabor ☺️
