BFGoodrich tires

BFGoodrich is one of the most storied names in the automotive industry, established in 1870 by Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich in Akron, Ohio. The brand initially made a name for itself by being the first rubber manufacturer west of the Appalachian Mountains and eventually became a pioneer in tire technology, equipping the spirit of St. Louis for its historic transatlantic flight and developing the first tubeless tire.

Today, BFGoodrich is synonymous with performance and off-road capability. While the brand has its roots in the United States, its manufacturing footprint is now global to meet international demand. Tires are produced in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, and various European and Asian nations, depending on the specific product line and market.

Since 1990, BFGoodrich has been owned by the French tire giant Michelin. This acquisition allowed the brand to leverage Michelin's extensive research and development resources while maintaining its unique identity and focus on performance tires. It operates as a key subsidiary within the Michelin Group's global portfolio.
