The Radial T/A is BFGoodrich's Performance All-Season tire developed for the drivers of muscle cars, kit cars, street rods and light trucks looking for wide, low profile, white-lettered performance tires. Today's Radial T/A tires are designed to combine classic looks and size range with modern manufacturing methods and year-round traction, even in light snow.

The Radial T/A molds an all-season tread compound into a symmetric independent block pattern featuring unique tread block phasing and variable groove angle geometry to provide low noise, predictable performance and year-round traction. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts (50-series sizes add BFGoodrich's ETEC [Equal TEnsion Containment] System of spirally wound nylon) that stabilize the tread. BFGoodrich's g-Wedge technology makes this the best performing Radial T/A ever by featuring the high modulus sidewall stabilizers found in many of BFGoodrich's higher performance radials (g-Wedge sidewall stabilizers increase torsional rigidity to enhance lateral stability and steering response, while delivering a smooth, comfortable ride).

BFGoodrich Radial T/A Reviews

Customers praise the BFGoodrich Radial T/A for its strong dry traction (8-10 scores) and comfortable ride, with many noting it revitalizes their classic car's handling. Wet traction receives generally positive feedback (7-8 range), though a few lower scores suggest cautious driving in rain - a minor concern given classic owners often avoid wet conditions. Treadwear earns consistent 9-10 ratings, though enthusiasts mention classic tires typically age out before wearing down from limited use. The quiet ride quality and period-correct appearance further satisfy collectors seeking authentic performance. While not designed for modern all-weather demands, it delivers exactly what classic car drivers prioritize: reliable dry-road manners and nostalgic charm.

...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...

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!

...Dry traction is actually better than other all season tires I've had...

These tires are really good, esp for a tread pattern that's been around for like 30 years. Honestly, there just as good as many all season tire I've had on a lot of different cars. Dry traction is actually better than other all season tires I've had. I've def never had these in snow, so I can't rate that at all.

...These definitely feel softer and have a bit more traction than the old tires when new. That being said, anything over 300 hp is going to struggle to get traction with these tires...

An early review for a repeat purchase that has probably changed since I bought the same set 10 years ago for my 68 Fastback.

These definitely feel softer and have a bit more traction than the old tires when new. That being said, anything over 300 hp is going to struggle to get traction with these tires. They are built to last and be comfortable which they seem to do well. if you need traction - consider a the bfgoodrich rivals if they have your size. Suggested for weekend car not a daily*

A lot of people complain about the white lettering turning brown - get a horse hair brush and some Meguiars non-acid tire and wheel cleaner (red and black bottle) spray on tire and use the brush on letters and tire. This kept my old tires looking new for 10+ years. I will update if that isn't the case with these new tires.

  • 472 positive

Most customers rate treadwear 9s and 10s, highlighting excellent longevity for classic road use. While a few report lower scores, limited mileage on vintage vehicles often means tires age gracefully before significant wear occurs.

Good purchase 3 sets all have gone 80,000+ miles 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 miles 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.
