PRESS RELEASE

50 Years on BFGoodrich Tires

Del Albright Announces 50 Consecutive Years on the BFG Brand

By Del Albright, Sustainable Motorized Recreation Advocate

Internationally published writer, book author, Hall of Fame Inductee, and motorized recreation advocate Del Albright is celebrating his 50th straight year of running BFGoodrich Tires on his various vehicles.

“I came home from combat duty in Vietnam and got out of the active Army in 1972 to attend college in N. CA. Hunting, fishing, and four-wheeling were my main playtime activities, and I needed the right tire for all conditions. So, in 1975, I chose BFGoodrich Tires because of their toughness and traction. I have been on BFGs ever since! 1975 – 2025; 50 years worth,” says Del.

Albright has recreated off-pavement on various motors his entire life, thanks to his dad, Elmer Albright, who spent most of his weekends either in the desert or on the ocean (fishing) with kids. The outdoor lifestyle runs in the Albright blood.

Del adds, “In my life, I’ve had dozens of 4x4 pickup trucks, a dirt bike or two, a water-pumper dune buggy, and a half-dozen Jeeps from YJ, CJ, XJ, TJ to JK. All on BFG tires because of their unmatched reputation for legendary racing toughness and trail traction from Baja to the Rubicon Trail.”

Albright is the founder of the Friends of the Rubicon (FOTR) and the Founding President of the Rubicon Trail Foundation (RTF), both of which were supported by grant money from BFG’s Outstanding Trails program. In 2014, he was inducted into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame (ORMHOF) for his work on the Rubicon Trail and training and motivating four-wheeling volunteers to get involved in keeping motorsports alive and well.

On his 4x4 rigs, Del has run Radial T/A's, All-Terrain, Trail-Terrain, and Mud-Terrain variations of BFG tires and loves them all. “I have never met a BFG tire I didn’t like,” says Del, smiling. “And when you add in the fact that BFGoodrich Tires supports land use and helps keep trails open, buying BFG makes perfect sense to me,” concludes Del.
