The presented tyre is marked with 3PMSF symbol (Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake). It means that the tyre meets the EU requirements for winter tyres. The symbol is awarded after thorough tests of a tyre model in terms of snow grip.
BF Goodrich G-Force Winter is a medium-class tyre. It ensures safe and comfortable driving in all winter conditions. Thanks to the special system of grooves, BF Goodrich G-Force Winter is doing particularly well on wet and snowy roads. In addition, the tyre is tough, which ensures long mileage. BF Goodrich G-Force Winter is a successor of BF Goodrich Winter G. The designers decided to make some fundamental changes in the tread design of BF Goodrich G-Force Winter:
Increased surface area of the tire footprint This provided even tread wear and better grip on road, even on an uneven surface. Good contact with the road also ensures precise handling and stable driving.
Better control The number of sipes in the tread surface was increased by as much as a half compared to the previous model. The incisions are of two-way design – the sipes change their properties while driving. They are flexible when a car starts, but when it breaks or starts suddenly, they dig into the ground. This ensures a faster response to steering movements and shorter braking distances. The sipes also improve traction in bends.
Safety on wet surfaces BF Goodrich G-Force Winter works well also on a wet road. For this purpose, wide grooves and notches are made on the shoulders. They are shaped as a funnel that extends toward the shoulder. This sculpture provides 30% better drainage of water and snow compared to the fixed width channels. Thanks to that, water and slush are effectively removed from under the tyres, which lowers the risk of aqua and slushplaning.
High-quality materials For the production of BF Goodrich G-Force Winter tyres, the manufacturer used extra durable rubber mixture, which does not lose its properties even in low temperatures. BF Goodrich is a brand owned by Michelin. The company was founded in 1870 as a rubber factory. Since its inception, BF Goodrich brand has always been famous for its pioneering character. BF Goodrich appeared successful a few times including the European Rally Championship and the Le Mans, lasting 24 hours. The Brand produces a wide range of tyres for cars, as well as models for specialized applications such as space shuttles.
