“BFGoodrich commercial truck products are built to deliver long, even wear and fuel-efficiency performance to get the job done — even in tough conditions. It’s a brand that fleet operators can count on,” says Adam Murphy, vice president of marketing, BFGoodrich commercial truck tires.
The company says the new BFGoodrich Highway Control tire line, which is SmartWay-verified, is designed with features that include:
- New sidewall compounds designed to provide fuel efficiency without sacrificing wear.
- Improved shoulder rib with microsipes to improve resistance to irregular wear.
- New tread design with optimized microsiping, which fights the onset of irregular tread wear.
- Serpentine flow-through grooves designed for outstanding water evacuation and all-weather confidence.
- Variable-groove wall to help reduce stone retention and extend the casing life.
- Excellent retreadability.
