Well, BFG hasn't actually made tires in a long time. Years ago the tire/rubber portion of the company was sold to Michelin. Michelin kept the name for brand awareness purposes.i heard a rumour!is it true bf goodrich tyres are no longer made in the usa,or did they give permission to china to replicate there brand?if so how can i tell which one is which?
That's directed at my statement? If so, wold you explain your comment?The above is a lot of PR spin and BS.
Did I miss something where he or someone else was asking about "true performance" tires? All he did was ask about the BFG brand and not any specific tire.The fact is that there are no tires made anywhere in the world for road-going Corvettes older than 1984 which are true performance tires safe for use on a road car. Virtually all of them are broad-market-replacemet tires "masqureading" as high-performance tires. Some of them might be "all-season" rated but none will be speed-rated high enough for use in true performance applications. Most broad market tires are not made in USA nor do they use materials made in the USA.
Yep, and that's the only reason I'm ordering 17" rims in the next month or two. I've finally conceded to the fact that no one is going to release any 17" street performance tires with white letters so there's no reason for me to wait anymore. (I had a glimmer of hope years ago when the new mustang was being shown around with a pair of 17" BFG Comp TA's with white letters, but they never brought 'em to market. )The only way to get good, made-in USA ultra-performance street radials on a car that old is to upgrade to at least 17-inch wheels.
