BFGoodrich and
Firestone. With very little to choose between them, it can come down to your specific driving needs and preferences.
So, let’s see which one is ideal for you and deserves your hard-earned money!
BFGoodrich Tyres: Durable and Powerful
Originally a bicycle tyre company founded by Benjamin Franklin’s son— Dr Benjamin Franklin Goodrich—the BFGoodrich brand is full of interesting history.
It didn’t just stop with their inception, being involved in massive achievements such as becoming the first tyre manufacturer to win the Indianapolis 500 two years in a row, as well as being the tyre of choice for the first vehicle to cross the United States in 1903.
Since then, BFGoodrich have become synonymous with the all-terrain category and is viewed by many as the benchmark for North American desert racing.
