BFGoodrichg-Force T/A KD


Lea esta página en español

The g-Force T/A KD is the Extreme Performance Summer tire member of BFGoodrich's family of g-Force tires. The g-Force T/A KD is designed to deliver BFGoodrich's Traction/Advantage to increase the performance capabilities of sports cars, sports coupes and performance sedans by providing remarkable dry road performance (hence the "D" in KD) while providing satisfactory wet traction. The g-Force T/A KD is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The g-Force T/A KD features BFGoodrich's high-silica BlackTech tread compound molded into tires specifically developed for the left and right side of the vehicle. The g-Force T/A KD is the first BFGoodrich tire to feature an asymmetric tread pattern (with large, stable blocks to provide more outer shoulder contact area than almost any other street tire in history) which increases cornering traction and steering response, combined with directional water evacuation channels to help resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. The tire's structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by BFGoodrich's ETEC System (spirally wound nylon) that provide excellent strength, uniform ride quality, and Y-speed rated (186 mph) capability. And for handling control and feedback, g-Control sidewall inserts resist lateral deflection and allow the g-Force T/A KD tires to generate tremendous cornering force.



As always 100%. I would not imagine going anywhere else for my tire needs. -- Paul, VA
