Anybody running BF-Goodrich Radial T/A? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Like it says...anyone on here have the BF-G Radial T/A?

I am looking at these as a decent priced tire that should be pretty good. I have run their other tires on other vehicles but am curious what feed back you all might have on these ones.

I run them on all my old trucks...been very happy. There are better handling tires out there (BFG's are pretty old technology), but it is hard to beat the looks of BFG's.

^^^Same here, great tire. Heard a nasty rumor that BFG is beginning to phase them out.

Great to hear, now if I could only find a free set.

I did find them on "special" on tire rack 225/60/15 for $69 each.

3+ years on this set, classic TA look

I'm on my second set of 255 70 15's on my daily driver 86. They've been just fine for me. First set went 50k.

Great price, but 225/60is going to be a little too short and too narrow. Look for a 255/70 ot 275/60 to go on an 8" rim. Almost perfect on these trucks, at stock height.

I will need to do some measurements. Mine is going back together on the 15th (pending weather , so my wife and kids go somewhere for the day). It will be 6/8 Drop. I am on the stock rallys.

I love the look of the old T/A's. I plan on running a set on my '73 with truck rallys....eventually...
