BFGoodrich is an American tire brand. Originally part of the industrial conglomerate Goodrich Corporation, it was acquired in 1990 (along with Uniroyal, then The Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Company) by the French tire maker Michelin. BFGoodrich was the first American tire manufacturer to make radial tires. It made tires for the then-new Winton car from Winton Motor Carriage Company. BFGoodrich tires have been fitted to several noteworthy historical vehicles: In 1903 the first car to cross the United States was fitted with B.F. Goodrich tires. In 1927 Charles Lindbergh's airplane, the Spirit of St. Louis, which made the first successful solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic, was fitted with B.F. Goodrich tires. The Space Shuttle Columbia's landing gear was fitted with BFGoodrich tires. BFGoodrich has been involved in several Baja California Competitions and enjoyed success with 28 overall victories at the Baja 1000 and 13 times winner of the Paris–Dakar Rally.
