While compound cracking is not a warrantable condition because it occurs as the result of improper use or storage, tires exhibiting compound cracking must be replaced.Įl neumático g-Force Rival S 1.5 de BFGoodrich pertenece a la categoría: Rendimiento Extremo Para Verano y fue desarrollado para conductores entusiastas de autos deportivos, sedanes de rendimiento y cupé deportivos, que desean que sus neumáticos se ajusten para bajar el tiempo por vuelta en competencias individuales, autocross, contra reloj y subiendo lomas. Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels, or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.įlexing of the specialized rubber compounds used in Extreme Performance Summer tires during cold-weather use can result in irreversible compound cracking. g-Control sidewall inserts tune the sidewall stiffening to promote steering response.
#305 BF GOODRICH G FORCE PATCH#
The tread is stabilized by twin steel belts and an Equal TEnsion Containment System (ETEC System) of spirally wrapped nylon to optimize the tire's contact patch and traction at speed. The tire's internal structure features BFGoodrich's Performance Racing Core reinforced internal structure that reduces flex to increase steering response. Lateral groove draft angles promote consistent performance and wear, while chamfered block edges resist feathering under extreme cornering and braking. Large, solid outboard tread blocks and BFGoodrich's Extreme Tread Edge (ETE) shoulder design wraps the tread compound farther down the sidewalls for predictable feedback and maximum cornering grip from start to finish. This silica-infused compound is molded into an asymmetric, three-rib tread design. The Rival S 1.5 features the same tread compound as its predecessor, which is designed to offer maximum dry and improved wet grip, as well as offer quicker warm-up in competition conditions, yet continues to earn a 200 Treadwear rating in Uniform Tire Quality Grade (UTQG) testing.
However, like all Extreme Performance Summer tires, it is not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near- and below-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.Ī further evolution of the BFGoodrich Rival S, the Rival S 1.5 features an updated construction process aimed at increasing steering precision and transitional response. The g-Force Rival S 1.5 is designed to raise the limits by delivering extreme grip that's extremely predictable, with improved handling response over its predecessor. The speeds shown are test speeds they are not recommended speeds.The g-Force Rival S 1.5 is BFGoodrich's Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for sports car, performance sedan and sports coupe driving enthusiasts who want their tires tuned to lower their run times in solo, autocross, time attack and hill climb events. However, if you are looking for better handling, there is generally no problem in moving up to a higher speed-rated tire. We don’t recommend downgrading the speed rating of your tires, as the vehicle manufacturer has done extensive testing to determine which tires match the various driving characteristics of the vehicle. Never mix tires with different speed ratings, as this may cause serious handling problems. above 186 mph, a Z rating must appear in the size designation, including a Y speed symbol in brackets. The tire may be able to reach higher speeds, but traveling at speeds higher than 99 mph for any length of time would be unsafe - the tire is not designed to handle it.įor tires having a maximum speed capability above 149 mph, a Z rating may appear in the size designation. Tires with a Q speed rating can safely sustain speeds of up to 99 miles per hour. On the sidewall of every tire, you’ll find one of these speed rating codes: Manufacturers assign speed ratings to tires after extensive performance testing. Speed rating standards are established by the U.S. A higher speed rating will generally indicate that you will have better control and handling characteristics. The speed rating is a measure of what speed the tire can safely maintain for sustained periods of time.
