Review Summary
The tires provide good performance, handling, and traction, especially on dry and wet roads. Customers praise the stability, comfort, and low noise levels. However, a recurring issue is the tendency of the white lettering to turn brown over time, even with light use, which many find unacceptable. Some report faster-than-expected wear, durability concerns, and poor value. Overall, the tires offer a good driving experience, but the browning lettering is a significant drawback.

Great tire for your classic car
I have owned many sets of these tire over the years. Getting ready to buy another set for my dad's 66 Chevelle that he restoring. He has owned this car for 47 years. It was his high school transportation, he and my mom dated in this car, it was a drag race car all of my childhood, now its being restored to almost original glory. Only the best parts have been used during the rebuild, so why would we choose any other tire. BFGoodrich Radial T/A is the best tire available for a muscle car! Thanks for a great tire time and time again. *On a small note to the other reviews in regards to the browning of the letters. It's seems the complaint is only about the rear tires, which makes perfect sense. Doing burn outs will cause this to happen.
Beware......
Purchased 4 BFG Radial T/A's in September of 2016. In 6 months and less than 250 miles the RWL's have begun turning brown. I am embarrassed to display my '66 Chevelle. If you just want black wall tires then by all means buy them but if you want RWL's showing shop some other tire brand.
Great Tire
I had these tires on a 67 Mustang GT Fastback 390 4 speed I had them on a 64 Falcon Sprint 260 4 speed and I just put them on my 66 Mercury Cyclone GT 390 4 speed. If you have a classic muscle car BF Goodrich Radial T/A's are the best and look great. I have 205 70R 14 on the front and 245 60R 14 on the rear for that real muscle car look.
looks great
Put the white letter TA's on our 67 Barracuda, look great for showing and drives great to & from the shows.

Low Red '93 Silverado
Have run 255/70/15s for years with stock suspension in my '93 Silverado; always felt like it looked like a little old lady going through a mud puddle with her skirt pulled up. Installed a Belltech 2" lowering kit. Now it sits where the factory should have put 'em in the first place...would love some T/As in maybe 265X75s to fit the factory 15" alloy wheels to fill the rear fender wells better, and a little more "attitude". Closest thing is the Long Trail Tour T/A. May have to opt for them...don't like the off-road connotation; turn the white lettering inside. Great tires, T/As. Just the ticket for real Detroit Iron.
Great Tires!
I absolutely love these tires they grip very well. There very nice and they grip very well when i stop fast! I love bfgoodrich tires these tires are just very amazing!
Love these tires
I install a set on my 1998 truck/SUV, and have been please since than. Great tire, I have over 50,000 on these tires and when they wear out I plan to buy a second set. Great in all kinds of weather conditions. I also going to put a set of new wheels on the vehicle 15x8 and the two should go just great together. Good job BF Goodrich keep it up.
Light Bown Radial TA Lettering
The white lettering on the BF Goodrich Radial TA's turns a light brown a few weeks after the purchase. Cleaning doesn't help, and the warranty doesn't either. So don't put them on a classic car.
Radial T/A, very impressive.
A quick background: former auto tech and engine builder. I have a thing for tires...why? Only thing that touches the road ( hopefully ) is your tires. Why skimp? I thought I would be skimping when I purchased 4 215/70 14 Radial T/A tires for my '68 LeMans. Archaic tire for an archaic car. WRONG. The suspension is all new but not "modded", 4 wheel power drums and a stock 7/8" front anti-sway bar, no rear bar. These tires are flat out amazing. Well engineered, excellent construction and great road manners and attributes...which means, stop or go, you are doing well. The car's handling is amazing with the tires...truly, if you can drive, it's a really exhiliarating experience to throw an old boat round the corners. I know I could rebuild the suspension as a psuedo road racer and pull a G on a skidpad but why? For a sane person, these tires and a suspension and steering in great shape are all you neeed. BFG, you have a customer for life.
