MAST (Michelin American Small Tire) has owned the BFG label for at least 15 years, along with several others. BFG`s tires are still made in BFG plants. Michelin Tire Co. (the French guys) is the majority but not soul owner of MAST.
Here`s are a couple of pieces of worthless trivia for those who might be interested. Did you know that Sears and Roebuck is how Michelin got its foot hold in America? Sears began selling their radial tires in 1966. There were few other radials on the road at that time.
I have toured several major tire plants, Pirelli/Armstrong being the coolest. Michelin will not only not allow spectators in their plants if you happen to work for them, there are 8 separate job classifications in the tire plant. Employees of the plant are only allowed to have worked in only 3 of those 8 positions. They guard their processes very closely.
Tires and brakes if you value your life. Many consider the engine to be the most important part of any vehicle. If the engine is broken and doesn`t run you won`t die. If tires are brakes are broken you may die.
