Inflation Increase (psi) 0 1 2 3 4 5 5 5 5 In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.įor speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.įor high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.ĭANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.ĭANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph. > Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. > Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width. > The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Good snow slalom and traction, relatively long braking distance, average handling.# The Load and Speed Index data are not shown on the tire sidewall and are provided for information only purposes.Not good enough on the dry: long braking distance and average handling.Poor results on the wet: the worst straight aqua resistance and handling, long braking distance.OverallĪccording to the test result the BF Goodrich gForce Winter took 19th place and showed one of the worst result among mid-range winter tyres. The fuel consumption difference with the leader 0.48l/100km. The external noise difference with the leader was 0.5dB. The average pulling force difference with the leader was 79 Newtons. The average lateral acceleration difference with the leader was 0.22m/s2. The snow handling average speed difference with the leader ( Continental TS 860) was 2.3km/h. The snow braking distance difference with the leader was 1.8 meters. The handling average speed difference with the best winter tyre was 1.5 meters. The braking distance difference with the best winter tyre was 2.7 meters. The lateral acceleration difference with the leader was 1.15m/s2. The BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 tyre is designed to get the next level of control: accelerate faster, corner harder and brake shorter in dry and wet. The float speed difference with the leader was 12.5 km/h. The wet handling time difference with the leader was 0.8 sec. The difference in average speed with the best winter tyre was 6.3km/h. The difference in braking distance with the leader was 5.2 meters. In addition, experts included into the test one reference summer tyre for comparison of results. In 2016 experts of the German publication Auto Bild have tested the BF Goodrich g Force winter at size 205/55 R16 and compared it with nineteen similar budget, mid-range and premium winter tires. ![]() 2016 Auto Bild Bfgoodrich g-Force Winter test
