The history of the BF Goodrich Company of Akron begins at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1870, Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich creates a trademark and gives it his name. In the same year, he founded the first rubber company in North America. The company founded by Benjamin produced fire hoses, belts and rubber containers for the beer industry. The BFGoodrich business developed quite successfully, but the scope of rubber at that time was very limited, and rubber processing technologies were much inferior to modern ones, and in 1885 a research laboratory was opened.
In the early 90s, the factory began producing bicycle tires, thanks to which BFGoodrich became known far beyond North America. At the same time, technologists are developing and testing the first models of car tires. Already in 1896, an agreement was signed for the supply of automobile inflatable tires for the Winton car. In 1903, the first car to cross the entire territory of America was fitted with BFGoodrich pneumatic tires.
In 1910, the company's technologists add carbon black to the rubber compound, as a result of which not only the color of the tires changes from white to black, but also the grip characteristics of the tires and their service life are significantly improved. In parallel, the company supplies its tires to cars participating in the Indianapolis 500 mile race. In 1915, cars on BFGoodrich tires win the race for the second time in a row.
In an effort to meet the demand for tires in all segments, including aviation, BFGoodrich is promoting its aircraft tires to the market through large-scale promotions. So in 1927, the Spirit of Saint-Louis, equipped with BFGoodrich tires, makes the first non-stop flight from New York to Paris.
In 1947, the company released a revolutionary new product - the first tubeless tire. The first tubeless tire to be produced in the United States greatly strengthened the company's position in the market. After 7 years, following the tubeless tire, the company brings to the market another innovative product - tires made using synthetic rubbers.
The increase in power and speed modes required new technological solutions from manufacturers of auto components. In 1965, the first Lifesaver radial design tire rolled off the BF Goodrich production line, providing a high level of safety and efficient traction. Two years later, a model comes on the market with the technology to keep moving after a loss of pressure. In 1976, the first BFGoodrich radial tire for SUVs was released.
In 1986, BFGoodrich merged with the American tire manufacturer Uniroyal (United States Rubber Company). In 1988, the B.F. The Goodrich Company of Akron sold the rights to its name to Michelin.
In 1999, the company introduced the first BFGoodrich tire with a painted tread to the market, called the Scorcher T/A. A year later, the legendary Profiler G model for cars and vans appears. In 2000, the company successfully enters the European market. In 2004, BFGoodrich announces the launch of the high performance summer tire, the g-Force Profiler, with performance enhancements that take performance to a new level with a unique, directional V-shaped tread pattern.
Throughout its history, BF Goodrich has been a participant in many competitions. This allowed the company to develop dynamically and hone the skills of tire production in very extreme conditions. Today BF Goodrich is a partner of many teams in most international rallies. Achievements, victories, discoveries, innovations - the history of BF Goodrich is full of challenges. The company clearly sees the challenge ahead of it - to offer consumers the best tires that provide excellent traction, excellent response and excellent steering precision.
The BFGoodirch G-Force Winter tire is a winter, non-studded model with a directional tread pattern used on passenger cars. This tire has excellent starting and braking characteristics on icy and snowy road surfaces due to the use of a large number of sipes.
A specially designed directional tread pattern, together with an optimally matched channel system, increases the removal of water and melted snow from under the tire. Due to the use of a rigid tread design, an increased number of sipes and a continuous central rib, the tire BFGoodrich G-Force Winter It has excellent braking and traction properties on various road surfaces.
A specially increased contact area by 10% made it possible to achieve: 10% increased grip and 10% improved cornering stability. The directional, palm-shaped tread pattern provides excellent handling and excellent hydroplaning resistance.
The new unique rubber compound, which allows the rubber to maintain the necessary rigidity and at the same time be quite soft, has made it possible to achieve excellent grip and increased ride comfort.
Main features of the BFGoodrich G-Force Winter tire
- The high density of the lamellas made it possible to achieve excellent drainage of water and melted snow from the contact patch and reduced the noise effect when driving;

Benefits of BF Goodrich winter tires
Experts attribute the presented models of tires for the cold season from an American manufacturer to high-quality products that are designed for different budget levels. In other words, these wheels can be installed on both inexpensive car brands and business class vehicles. The well thought-out tread has various elements that allow you to provide excellent handling on snowy and icy roads. The optimized ratio of the shape and dimensions of the rubber surface details makes it possible to evenly distribute the load over the contact patch. The protrusions on the side areas of the wheels serve as additional clutch elements. Open shoulder areas and the presence of spikes increase traction.
In general, the range of the brand stands out:
high strength;
excellent cross;
excellent resistance to slashing;
durability;
reinforced frame;
optimal grip and braking properties.
The composition of the rubber included components that significantly improve the properties of the wheels. Due to the optimal balance of substances, tires have elasticity, heat resistance and wear resistance.
All sizes of high-quality American winter tires BF Goodrich 'in Moscow' can be bought at the Wheels online store for free. All items are in stock or available to order. The indicated prices are current.
Each tire model is accompanied by a photo, a detailed description and reliable performance characteristics.
Friction models are distinguished by an expressive tread pattern, the sipes on which are located with increased density. A well-thought-out system of drainage channels contributes to the instantaneous removal of water flows and snow and mud masses from under the wheel, and its effectiveness is especially noticeable when cornering. The sipes are angled to provide control on snowy trails. The rigid tread structure with a continuous central rib contributes to fast and safe braking.
Thanks to massive shoulder blocks, BFGoodrich winter tires have constant tight contact with the roadway. In addition, these elements are reinforced and have a bifurcated configuration, which allows you to stabilize the movement on slippery surfaces and minimize the likelihood of skidding.
In some models (these include, for example, the popular BFGoodrich g-Force Winter-2 tires), two types of sipes are used: in the shoulder areas they are zigzag, and in the central part they are directional. This structure made it possible to increase handling, as well as improve braking performance.
The rubber compound from which BFGoodrich winter tires are made is made using Helio Compound 3G technology. The chemical formula provides for the presence of not only an increased content of silica, but also sunflower oil, as well as a set of innovative additives. As a result, BFGoodrich winter tires retain flexibility and other performance characteristics at low temperatures, as well as increased resistance to abrasion and other types of wear.
