Michelin North America Inc. has expanded its BFGoodrich brand performance tire line-up with the new Advantage T/A H/V tire and several new sizes for the g-Force Super Sport A/S.

The BFGoodrich Advantage T/A H/V will be available March 1 in 17 H- and V-rated sizes. The tire "encompasses many attributes from its racing counterparts and is designed for extended tread life and greater control," say Michelin officials.

Features include a non-directional tread design; new "g-Grip" interlocking sipes for all-weather traction; and a "go-fast look and signature aesthetics."

Sixteen new H- and V-rated sizes for the BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S tire will be available in May 2009. The tire "combines all-season control and performance," according to Michelin officials.

Its features include an all-season rubber compound, anti-hyrdoplaning Aqua Chute channels, tread blocks designed to grip snow and others.
