The BFGoodrich Day 2023 comprises an Exhibition Zone, and 5 Workshop Stations. The Exhibition Zone showcases the long history and legacy of BFGoodrich brand that dates back to over 150 years. The brand was established in the US in 1870 by Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich, and joined the Michelin Group in 1990. The brand has been known for its ground-breaking innovations, such as the first American-made radial tire, the world’s first radial All-Terrain and Mud-Terrain tires, and the official tire of choice for the Columbia Space Shuttle.
The brand has also won many prestigious motorsport races, such as Le Mans 24 Hours, Baja 1000, and Dakar Rally. The Exhibition Zone also displays a full range of BFGoodrich products, both off-road and on-road:
- BFGoodrich Trail Terrain T/A – a premium tire that delivers excellent on-road performance and light off-pavement capability.
