BFGoodrich g-Force R1 |
 |
The g-Force R1
radial is BFGoodrich's Track & Competition DOT racing tire
developed for prepared vehicles looking for race- and time
attack-winning performance, as well as track-day drivers
seeking predictable grip that is comfortable to drive at the
limit. The g-Force R1 radial is designed to offer best in
class dry grip, cornering power, steering response and
turn-in precision to inspire driver confidence for the
quickest times lap after lap.
The g-Force R1 uses a competition tread compound molded into
a symmetric, non-directional, semi-slick tread design with
just 4/32" of beginning tread depth eliminating the need for
shaving. Rubber bridges are molded repeatedly across the two
DOT-required circumferential grooves to promote even wear
and further the tire's slick-like performance. While the
tires require minimal scuffing, heat cycling is recommended
to further enhance consistency and wear. The tread compound
warms up quickly and operates over a wide temperature range
to provide predictable grip that is forgiving and easy to
drive at the limit. The symmetric, semi-slick tread design
allows the g-Force R1 to rotate in different directions and
be used at different vehicle wheel positions to maximize
treadlife. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel
belts reinforced by a spirally wrapped polyamide cord on top
of a two-ply nylon cord carcass.
NOTE: While BFGoodrich g-Force R1 radials meet DOT
requirements, they are not appropriate for highway use as
the expected miles of wear from their racing tread compounds
is greatly reduced. The g-Force R1 radials are not
recommended for driving in wet conditions where there is the
risk of hydroplaning. Drivers should drive cautiously at
reduced speeds in these conditions. |
