Michelin Introduces BFGoodrich Trail-Terrain T/A+

Michelin North America Inc. is launching the BFGoodrich Trail-Terrain T/A+ tire, a "versatile tire" designed for SUVs, light trucks and crossovers.

The Trail-Terrain T/A+ balances "off-road inspired style and capability with the on-road comfort and longevity drivers need for both daily commutes and weekend getaways."

“BFGoodrich has the right tire for every type of driver – from extreme off-roaders to everyday adventurers,” says Jamie Hershey, senior director of recreational brands for BFGoodrich Tires. “The new Trail-Terrain T/A+ tire is for those everyday adventurers."

The new tire features improved wet traction, wear performance and rolling resistance for driving in a wide variety of conditions. The Trail-Terrain T/A+ has a Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating and is designed with a new all-weather compound that "delivers 10% improved wet traction compared with the original BFGoodrich Trail-Terrain T/A tire," according to officials.

The tire also features an optimized footprint shape, full-depth locking 3D sipes for even wear and "has up to 25% better wear performance than the original Trail-Terrain T/A tire." The Trail-Terrain T/A+ also "provides improved fuel efficiency over its predecessor and is engineered for minimal road noise, delivering a comfortable and quiet ride."

BFGoodrich will introduce 50 replacement sizes in 2026, beginning with 33 sizes available now. An expanded size lineup, including additional 17”, 18”, 19”, 20” and 22” options, is scheduled for 2027 as part of a line extension plan, say company officials. 

"The Trail-Terrain T/A+ tire will come as original equipment on the 2026 Rivian R2, but is primarily a replacement tire designed for vehicles like the Honda Passport, Toyota Tacoma and RAV4, Ford F-150 and Subaru Outback."
