BFGoodrich Tires Celebrates 150th Anniversary

BFGoodrich Tires has turned 150 years old.

During the past century and a half, BFGoodrich’s accomplishments include the first pneumatic car tire produced in the U.S., tires for the first car to drive coast to coast, tires on the historic flight of the Spirit of St. Louis, the first tubeless tires, the first radial tire in the U.S., and tires on the Columbia space shuttles.

In addition to tire technology, BFGoodrich has also been a zeitgeist in American automotive culture. Countless movies and television shows have chosen BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, as well as all-terrain tires, to complete iconic vehicles including the A-Team van, the Back to the Future DeLorean, the Batmobile, Jurassic Park Jeeps, and the Dukes of Hazzard’s Dodge Charger, just to name a few.
