- Built stronger with improved wear life
GREENVILLE, S.C. June 22, 2023 — Law enforcement officers demand grueling performance from their tires — any terrain, any conditions, any time.
BFGoodrich Tires has introduced the BFGoodrich Tires Elite-Force T/A — a purpose-built, all-season pursuit tire that answers the unique demands of law enforcement.
“The BFGoodrich Elite-Force T/A tire responds to emergencies in any condition, from driving downpours to grinding gravel roads,” said Kim Kegler, BFGoodrich Tires Brand Director. “We developed a BFGoodrich tire that can answer any and every call in the most severe conditions.”
Elite-Force is engineered to last longer on the job:
- Longer lasting wear life: Elite-Force delivers long-lasting wear life.[1] Elite-Force is designed to be 35% stronger with a redesigned tread pattern for increased durability to last longer on the job.1
- Excellent wet performance: Elite-Force is one of the best wet-braking pursuit tires among leading competitors. The tire stops up to 21 feet shorter than a leading competitor tire.[2]
- Dedicated pursuit tire with a large portfolio of sizes that covers your fleet.
Meeting customers’ needs both in performance and design, BFGoodrich Tires incorporated law enforcement feedback in its design for the Elite-Force.
“Wet-traction handling is the most important to me, especially in high-speed situations,” said Major Jason Ramey of the Edgefield County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina.
Additionally, the tire is available with a badge-inspired design on the sidewall or a traditional, undercover sidewall.
The Elite-Force T/A tire spans a comprehensive size offering specifically designed for today’s law enforcement vehicles, including SUVs.
