The all-season tire BFGoodrich Touring t/a belongs to the "passenger" line of models of the brand, known more as a manufacturer of off-road tires. Unlike them, this model is designed for everyday use on asphalt roads. It stands out for its improved traction on wet and snowy surfaces, ease of handling when maneuvering, along with fuel efficiency, durability, and long service life.
The tread pattern is designed in the same style as classic winter tires, featuring a V-shaped arrangement of grooves. This significantly improves traction and braking properties on wet and snowy surfaces without increasing rolling resistance and preventing rapid wear on roads with worn-out surfaces. A distinctive feature is the presence of a massive solid longitudinal rib in the middle of the tread. This element, due to its size, location, and high resistance to deformation, provides stable traction at high speeds, reducing wear and fuel consumption. It's worth noting the profile of the tread, the shape of which further enhances these operational properties, adding to them ease of handling when maneuvering. Another important distinction of the tread pattern is the presence of a large number of lamellas in the shoulder areas. These elements improve the tire's performance on wet surfaces, drying the contact patch, directing water to nearby grooves, and by forming sharpened edges, providing more intense braking in such conditions.
Key features of BFGoodrich Touring t/a:
- excellent stability and comfort when handling at high speeds thanks to the rigid solid rib running exactly in the middle of the tread pattern;
- a large number of transverse lamellas and micro-grooves in the shoulder areas increase traction and braking properties on wet surfaces;
- the tread profile and optimized carcass structure increase the contact patch, providing more stable traction, both when driving straight and when cornering;
- the rubber compound, which remains soft at low temperatures, keeps the tire's performance high even on winter surfaces.
