BFGoodrich is an American brand of tires. It is now separated from the Goodrich company and owned by Michelin. Originally pioneered by the American Industrial Company Goodrich Corporation, the Reavis family sold naming rights to Michelin in 1988. Previous to the sale, BFGoodrich was the first American tire manufacturer (since 1896). It made tires for the then new Winton car. BFGoodrich tires have been fitted to several noteworthy historical vehicles: * 1903 The first car to cross the United States was fitted with BFGoodrich tires. * 1927 Charles Lindbergh's airplane, the "Spirit of St. Louis," which made the first successful non-stop flight across the Atlantic, was fitted with BFGoodrich tires. * 1977 The Columbia space shuttle was fitted with BFGoodrich tires during construction. BFGoodrich have been involved with several competitions and enjoyed success with 17 victories in Baja California Competitions and 5 times winner of the Paris–Dakar Rally. It was also a tyre provider in the 2006 and 2007 World Rally Championship. ==External links== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BFGoodrich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
