BFGoodrich Radial T/A 

Always liked these tires on older muscle cars - they had good traction even when worn past 70% of tread. My Benz is lowered 4" (front and rear) and results in more negative camber which seems to help such a heavy car handle better in cornering. Any loss of traction with these tires is more related to suspension than the tire. I have looped my 1971 Olds Cutlass using these tires without even trying on a wet road - but that was due to light rear and lots of torque. They have excellent dry traction and pretty good wet traction as well. I hope they continue to be available in 14" and 15" for the older original rims on these cars. Great tires for the price!

I purchased them in Michigan... if it snows, don't plan a trip out. Now I live in Florida, the wet traction is unbeatable. even if you try to loose control, they want to grab the road. I light my tires up regularly... for fun. and in about 20,000 miles and multiple rotations... I still have about 8/32 tread depth left.

I replaced Goodyear Assurance tires with these BFGoodrich; so my comparison will be between these two tire brands. The Goodyear's had excellent tread wear. I put 90,000 miles on them before I had to replace them; but I hated every other aspect about them. The ride was extremely rough and noisy (they were a higher speed rated tire). They handled ok on dry surfaces, but was not a problem spinning them at take off. Get them even just a little bit wet, and hang on. The wet traction was horrible as was the hydroplaning. From a standstill, say at a red light on a rainy day, or just tires wet from sprinkler runoff, you could not move the car without the tires spinning. I'm not talking about opening up the throttle, just pushing the pedal to move the car, it was awful, like being on ice and was especially gut wrenching if you were in the middle of a turn as well. Was not comfortable with my wife driving the car in wet weather, especially with the kids. I have had the BFGoodrich Radial T/A now for about 2,000 miles. Recently took a road trip to Nebraska and encountered snow and ice. Same trip I encountered rain as well as dry pavement driving. The tires performed amazing. The ride is very smooth (not a very high speed rated tire) and quiet. They handle great on the ice as well as in the light snow. On wet pavement I had no problems with traction or hydroplaning. From a standstill on wet pavement, traction is greatly improved, and spinning occurs only when I open up the throttle a little. With only so few miles, I cannot really give my opinion on the treadwear. In my opinion, for my driving style (80 mile daily commute for work and city driving during day) as a spirited driver, I am absolutely happy with the BFGoodrich tires.

tire has excellent dry traction for braking, cornering and straight line acceleration however this car does not get driven in rain or snow ever so that is an unknown.

In a straight line, these tires are like none other Ive had. Dry traction is phenominal. Handling on gravel is a bit dicey. I pound my car into the ground and these tires have held up to the abuse. They will not fare very well in adverse conditions such as snow, ice, rain, gravel etc. but on dry pavement, watch out!



As well as road travel, I frequently take my car through light offroading (forest tracts, logging roads, Yes I know its a Hyundai), and have never encountered a problem. Obviously these tires are not designed for such use, but I have to highlight that they have stood up to the abuse.



I am at about 35,000 kms on the tires now. I am wearing down the wear indicators so the treadware was not quite what I expected, however I do drive very hard. I suspect that casual to normal driving habits would see these tires match a quality wear period.



I am more than happy with this tires life and performance. Would I buy them again? Perhaps, but I would not expect them to last for many years. If you want all out performance, and you dont drive in adverse conditions often, and if you dont expect your tire to last a lifetime, this is a great pic!

Not quite sure of the exact milage...(at least 35,000) But these tires are at least 8 years old. These tires bridge the gap between performance and driveability. My car has a little spirit to her and these tires have run a 12.4 in the quarter and carried me 20 miles to and back from the track. I drove on these same tires from Raleigh NC to Hollywood Fl and back. These tires have even brought me home through massive ice and snow storms. Now these tires are wearing out and I am shopping for there replacements. The replacements will be BFG radial T/As.

These tires are not super quiet nor are they as grippy as the Yokahomas I had but they bridge the gap well between performance and longevity and price. The Yokahomas lasted about a year. The BFGs are just now needing replacement. The tires are solid in the corners. They will perform as the speed rating states. And, like I said 12.4 in the quarter... and to and from the track. Definately would buy them again.

Great looking and very smooth ride

Tires came earlier than expected, delivery person was courteous, tires were in perfect condition. They ride nice, not a lot of road noise coming from the tires. Look exceptionally good on the car.

It rides like a new car. Glad I chose them.

Good purchase 3 sets all have gone 80,000+ before removing due to a busted belt not low tread although most people would say they’re low tread. I firmly believe they would easily go 100,000 if they would last or if you drove them everyday on the interstate for a traveling vehicle like me and didn’t see gravel roads.

The bf Goodrich radial t/a is a great all around performance tire with decent treadlife. I have bought it before and will again with no reservations.

The BF Goodrich T/A Radial has stood the test of time as the de facto muscle car, restoration and restomod tire of choice. On several cars I've owned including my 1967 Shelby GT350, 1970 Mustang Mach I, 1972 Mustang Mach I and current 1970 Mustang Boss 302 and 1967 Mustang GT Convertible you can not beat it for ride quality, road handling, grip wet or dry, treadwear, good looks and value. It is an all season tire and while I do not take show cars out in the rain, snow or ice, it is incredibly capable in all weather conditions. As a kid in the 1980s it was the tire of choice and 40 years later it is still the tire of choice. I hope they make this tire forever!
