Jan. 17, 2005

Michelin North America Inc. reports its 18-inch BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW tires will be an OE option for the 2006 Ford Mustang GT coupe and convertible.

This is the first time that an 18-inch wheel and tire has been offered by Ford on its popular Mustang and was showcased this month on the Ford Mustang GT convertible at both the Los Angeles Auto Show and the North American International Auto Show (Detroit).

The tire (size: 255/45R18) has an aggressive tread pattern for both dry and wet pavement performance.

"The combination of the Ford Mustang and BFGoodrich tires is the perfect match of performance and style," said Thom Peebles, brand director for BFGoodrich Tires. "BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW tires offer the kind of performance you would expect when upgrading from the standard 17-inch tires on the Ford Mustang GT."

The 18-inch g-Force T/A KDW tire is the largest original equipment tire ever offered as an option on the Ford Mustang GT and the 18-inch size continues to be one of the most popular plus-size upgrades, Peebles notes.
