2016 BFGoodrich Tires Updates

BFGoodrich has announced that they will be releasing an update to the Rival S tire. Based on details provided by BF Goodrich and Tirerack, the SEB has determined that this new version of the tire has undergone significant changes. Section 13.3-B-4 of the Solo Rulebook requires the eligibility test to be reset. Therefore the updated version of the Rival S is not eligible for competition use in Championship Tours or the Solo National Championships.

It may be eligible for regional competition, depending on your local region's practices.

Here is how to identify the new tire:

  • The speed rating molded in the sidewall will be a V rating instead of the previous W rating.
  • The part number will not match the previous models.

    • We have been informed that The Tire Rack has a good supply of the current model tire and does not have a scheduled date for the new tire to arrive. BFGoodrich will not release the new model tire until the old supply sells out.
