Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

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).

Customers Say

Customers praise the BFGoodrich Radial T/A for its confident dry traction (frequent 9-10 scores) and smooth ride, with many noting it revitalizes their classic car's handling. Comfort scores (7-8 range) reflect a balanced mix of road manners and classic-era authenticity. Wet traction earns mostly positive feedback (7-8), though a few lower scores highlight reduced grip in heavy rain-a minor concern given limited classic car use in wet conditions. Treadwear ratings (9-10) suggest strong longevity, though owners often note these tires typically age out before wearing out due to seasonal storage. Quiet operation and period-correct styling further solidify its appeal for vintage enthusiasts.

...We live in Florida where it rains every summer. The wet traction is exceptional...

These tires are not for people whose main concern is gas mileage. They are for people who want to be able to stop when it's important. They have great grip. This Frontier is a Desert Runner. 2WD truck on a 4WD chassis. We live in Florida where it rains every summer. The wet traction is exceptional. The soft ride of these wider 60 series tires is so much better than the OEM tires. I have had these tires on an Acura as well and the cornering is excellent for tires in this category. I am going to replace these with another set.

...These tires have excellent traction in the rain as I have not experienced a hydroplane yet...

The BFG Radial T/A's are great tires. I currently have 5k on them and I am very satisfied. I live in Southern California, so I don't have experience with them in the snow. In dry conditions, the tires grip like -------- and never slip. These tires have excellent traction in the rain as I have not experienced a hydroplane yet. The tread is nice and tall so I wouldn't be surprised to get at least 60k in these. The T/A's are also great for burnouts; I spin these tires often and they smoke rather easily. I tend to drive on the spirited side and I will have to say that these tires hang great in the turns. I've taken several sharp turns in the 40-50-60 mph range and they grip extremely well. I would definitely recommend these tires to anyone looking for excellent grip and traction in dry/wet conditions. I would surely purchase these tires again.

Great dry traction (they grab the pavement pretty well on really hard acceleration) and good cornering stability.

Great tires. Cannot beat the price. I have them on my 1979 Chevy Camaro, and put about 500 miles on them. Great dry traction (they grab the pavement pretty well on really hard acceleration) and good cornering stability. They are size 245/60/14, and they fit well in my Camaro. The rear tires brush the inside of the fender when I go fast over a big bump, however. Not horriblle though. The front tires clear totally, even when the wheel is turned to the stops and going over a bump. Great tire for all your second generation F-car owners out there who want to keep your stock wheels and put relitively large tires on there compared to stock sizes.

...First test was hard acceleration. Controllable wheelspin for first 40 feet but car went straight as an arrow with no sensation of sideways movement. Next I took the car through a posted 30 MPH curve at 55MPH and there was no squealing or lateral drift just a feeling of being on rails as I took the curve with a feeling of total control...

Just mounted these tires on my 327 CI 350 HP (Dyno figures) 67 Camaro ( VIN # 000002 first day of production build) with 10,000 documented miles that I obtained at an estate sale 2 years ago. These tires replaced the original Polyglas F70-14 rubber that appeared unroadworthy. I did drive the car for about 10 miles with the old tires and conditions noted were instability over 30MPH, squealing during moderate cornering, car spun 90 degrees under heavy acceleration with non-stop wheel spin despite posi differential. Enough. Out with the old and on with the new BFG Radial T/As . First test was hard acceleration. Controllable wheelspin for first 40 feet but car went straight as an arrow with no sensation of sideways movement. Next I took the car through a posted 30 MPH curve at 55MPH and there was no squealing or lateral drift just a feeling of being on rails as I took the curve with a feeling of total control. Next was 55 MPH straight road with momentary hands off steering wheel. The car continued straight with no perceptible wandering. Finally I did a 55 to 0 panic stop. I modulated the brake pedal to the point of threshold skid however the car stopped straight with no perceptible deviation.
I've used BFG Radial T/As on several performance cars and have never been disappointed with their overall performance in all weather conditions except snow. I'm the past I have averaged 50,000 miles before wear bars became visible. I have never experienced a tire related loss of control with this tire.

...But as a final word on these tires... with the 70 series side wall there's plenty of comfort...

These tires are on my restored Challenger, so they'll never see snowy conditions. Also, it's tough to get a real feel for steering responsiveness, the power steering is over powered. But as a final word on these tires, they look great on a classic, they are really quite, traction is fine for the drive style of the car and with the 70 series side wall there's plenty of comfort. I've been an extremely satisfied customer for over 10 years and will keep on buying these tires for years to come.

...They look good, drive well and are quiet...

These really work well for this vintage kind of car. They look good, drive well and are quiet. I can't speak to their wet capability because I don't take this car out in the rain or snow. The only drawback is that they flat spot when the car sits for a long time but that is to be expected. The good news is that the flat spots do drive out. For a classic muscle car, I can't think of a better tire.

Treadwear receives strong ratings, with most scores 9-10. Classic vehicle owners often note tires age out before significant wear, reinforcing their reputation for reliable tread life in typical road use. Some lower scores suggest varied experiences, but high marks dominate for classic applications.

Treadwear is exceptional 75K on them and still have 3-5K to go...

Treadwear is exceptional 75K on them and still have 3-5K to go. Wet traction is fair. Prone to punctures, had 7 so far. Good thing I could fix them myself, would have cost $$$. Looking at another set of BFG. Considered Yokohama Avid ST, but after looking at the reviews I change my mind. People have reported quick treadwear and need of a replacement after 30,000. Not for me Id be buying tires next year. Ill stick to BFG.

I put these tires on my monte carlo over eight years ago, and believe it or not they still have more than enough tread to be legal after over eighty-thousand miles...

I realize that the scores I have given this tire may seem a little extreme. However, I have never had as good of an experience with any other purchase. I am what most would consider a very aggressive driver. Not only do I enjoy it in my spare time, but it is my job. I put these tires on my monte carlo over eight years ago, and believe it or not they still have more than enough tread to be legal after over eighty-thousand miles. I highly recommend anyone to at least try them out if you get the chance. You wont regret it.
