BFGoodrich Radial T/A Classic & Antique Car Tire in P225/70R14

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.

Tires came on my truck and are just horrible in the rain. The wet traction is horrible and downright dangerous. Tires spin on take-off if road is the least bit wet and I have a 4 cylinder. Horrible, horrible wet weather traction. Have not put braking to the test in wet conditions as I drive very slow and give cars ahead of me plenty of room. These are so bad in rainy weather that we take my wifes car if possible when it rains. Will be coming off and replaced very soon. They get worse wet weather traction as they wear, also.

This tire won't quit! I've put about 80k miles on them and every year I say "I'm going to have to get new tires soon" but never have to because they still have tread left on them. I rotate them every 6,000 miles (every other oil change) and have never had them rebalanced. They are starting to wobble now at higher speeds, but I will just deal with it until I replace them. I do a little bit of off-roading a couple of times a year and usually pay for it by getting stuck on wet uphills. The only issue I have with them is that they have NO traction when accelerating in wet or even slightly snowy conditions. I have spun them numerous times without even trying to when the road is wet (and numerous times actually trying to spin them too :) The issue may be with the diameter though since my truck has a lot of torque and tiny 14" wheels plus it is only 2-wheel drive. If you primarily drive on dry roads and ROTATE YOUR TIRES REGULARLY then this tire will last forever and be a great performer for you.

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!

As a big fan of BFGoodrich tires in general, they were my first choice when looking for new tires for my 2008 Cobalt. For a long time, I had been driving pickup trucks and was very pleased with the Long Trail TA and All Terrain TA.



On this daily driver, I wanted something that would ride as smoothly as my stock tires but give me better handling in dry and snow, as well as a better look. So far, they haven't let me down.



I had used Radial TA tires back in the 1980s but these looked much more advanced than those. They perform better than my stock tires in dry, wet and snow, with a great quiet ride. As for wear, I've only had them for about 6,500 miles but they look brand new and had no balancing issues.



Regarding snow, I have driven in several storms and the only time I had serious issues was when the snow was unplowed and deep enough to hit my bumper. Considering that this is a FWD coup and not a truck, that's pretty good in my book.



I probably would have gotten better cornering with an H rated Traction TA or similar tire. But I wanted the white letters and smooth ride of these S rated tires. I am totally satisfied.

These tires have exellent dry traction. They are also the best looking tire in that price range, but in all other areas they are pretty typical.I actually lost a little bit of steering feel, compared to the factory rubber, but I contribute that to the increase in size ( 255/70-15 compared to 235/75-15). The BFG's are actually slightly taller and wider, so I don't think that the loss in steering feel is due to the tire design. Next time I'm going to try a 235/70-15 on the front and a 275/60-15 on the rear

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.

My review is as a conservative safe driver. I drive mainly at speeds of 65 to 72 mph and try to avoid hard braking. However, these tires come through for me if I must stop suddenly. The tires are very quiet on my Cavalier car and passengers comment on its smooth ride. Handling is very good. I may not be so demanding of tires so long as they hold up. And this tire holds up. I have owned 4 sets of BF Goodrick T/A and have never, I repeat, never had a flat. Got a nail stuck in one-one time but it didnt go flat. The warranty covered the repair. The set of T/A tires Im running right now have at least 66,000 miles on them--and guess what, except for the corners, the tires look like they have only about half that many miles on them! The funny things this time with this set of tires is Ive only had them rotated two times. Im about to go get another set. I dont drive crazy in rain and I slow down to about 35 or 40 mph in snow but they get me to where I am going. I keep my wheels aligned and I adjust my driving for weather conditions. You cant expect any tire to be totally safe in ice/snow and hard rain. The driver has to give the tires a break. Hope this review helps you in some way.--Mike Baggett

I bought a set of raised white letter radial T/A's for a mint condition 1985 Chevy Celebrity Eurosport that I have owned since 1989. This is only the third set of tires that has ever ben put on this vehicle. These replaced a set of Michelin Pilot HGT4's that I bought in 1999. There was pleny of thread left on them but they were dry rotted from sitting for so long. I have always been a fan of Michelin tires and was hesitant about buying anything else. I wanted a low profile, wide thread width tire. But because this car has factory 14 inch rims on it, the selection of replacement tires is limited. The BF Goodrich radial T/A's were the only tire I could find in the size I wanted. The Michelin Pilot HGT4's that I had on the car handled nice but always road rough. They seemed to amplify ever bump in the road. The first thing that I noticed after I got the BFG's mounted on the car was how much smoother the ride was. The next thing I noticed was how much better they held going around corners. I can't say how they perform in rain or snow. Because I don't drive this car in the rain or in the snow. There is no issue with me as far as tire road noice. So far I am pleased with these tires and would have no problem with recomending them to some one else.

These are quality tires for the price and performance category, not to mention they have a great sporty look and will improve the appearance of your vehicle. I have had two pairs of BF Goodrich Radial T/A 's on my 1972 Gran Torino Sport and bought them for my girlfriends 1996 Beretta, they are an improvement over the OEM tires, handling and cornering are much improved, treadware has been minimal.

Fine on dry roads, but in my Manual 3.0L V6 Ranger I could break them loose everytime unless i took off very slowly. In rain and uphill almost impossible not to spin the tires. I can only imagine how they would do in a performance vehicle.

Forget about these as an all season, snow traction was awful in anything but a light dusting. They worked for doing doughnuts in.

Tread wear was the only and best thing about this tire. With almost new tread on them I hydro-planned going 55mph in a 70mph in only moderate rain. Thats when I got new tires.

Left on for 3 years, 25,000 miles and only went through 1/8 of tread. Then finally got sick of the awful handling got an all/terrain and even that didnt slip as bad as these. Love BFG all Terrains, however these not so much.

1st time oem tires lasted past 60,000 miles for me. I drive fast and hard but they withstood my daily abuse I put on them. I'm very impressed and surprised daily that I haven't had to change them out yet.
