The summer passenger tire BFGoodrich Touring G from a well-known North American manufacturer is designed for mid-range passenger vehicles.
The design of the symmetrical directional tread pattern contains a number of solutions that have proven their effectiveness and reliability in other models from this manufacturer. The tread pattern consists of three central ribs, separated by four drainage grooves with reinforced shoulder areas. The wide, uninterrupted central rib provides excellent directional stability and significantly reduces the tire's response time to steering wheel movement.
The two adjacent central ribs of the BFGoodrich Touring G tire have significantly improved the tire's handling characteristics on dry roads. Additionally, the surface of these ribs features a number of transverse channels with an original curved shape, which was specifically designed to increase the efficiency of water evacuation from the contact patch. However, the main burden of fighting aquaplaning is borne by the four longitudinal grooves, which provide excellent traction and adhesion characteristics of the tire even on very wet roads.
The shoulder areas of the tread also feature a number of distinctive features. The surface of the shoulder areas features longitudinal and transverse self-locking lamellas, which increase their strength, both during straight-line driving and when cornering. This has significantly improved the efficiency of acceleration and braking during straight-line driving, as well as providing stability and stability when cornering. Additionally, the use of a rounded profile of the shoulder areas has given the tire resistance to deformations that lead to uneven wear during cornering.
Main features of the BFGoodrich Touring G tire
- Excellent handling characteristics are provided by the original tread pattern design;
- Shortened braking distance and acceleration efficiency, thanks to the symmetrical directional tread pattern;
- Resistance to aquaplaning is provided by four drainage grooves, supplemented by a number of transverse channels, the shape of which promotes increased efficiency of water evacuation from the contact patch;
- The original design of the shoulder areas of the tread significantly improves the basic working characteristics of the tire, both during straight-line driving and when cornering.
