Going down the interstate @ 75mph, tire pressure was @ 32psi 20 minutes prior, no puncture in face of tire tread whatsoever, no warning, just exploded.

Still want BFGs?

 

Radial T/A's

I have run some form of BFG tire (90% were Radial T/A's) since 1982 and have yet to have a problem. IMO the best looking RWL tire on the market....especially on Weld Draglites.....STEVE

 

BFGs

Ive been running BFGs on several vehicles for the past say 8yrs with no problems. I run the 275 50s radial TA and like them, the drag tire doesnt last that long though

 

I have comp t/a's on the ranger, and a bastardized set of comps/touring/radial t/a's on the mustang that are going to be burnout tires one of these days because they suck ass

after personally witnessing Ian's mishap I won't buy another radial t/a tire

 

I run bf t/a radials on my 69 roadrunner and also on my 340 duster and I have no complaints.I roast the crap out of them and still have good rubber.

 

I have used the Radial T/A's for years, and never had a problem. 235/60-15's front, and 275/50-15's rear. I may go with 295/50-15's on the rear soon though. They would look pretty good, I am thinking, lol. BTW, no other tire looks as good on the 15" wheels as far as I am concerned.

 

im a fan of how the m/t et streets look on the draglites.

 

I don't want the white letters on either side.... I'll turn them inside, but what can I put on them to blackin the letters for 'car shows'???

also... For you guy's running the 275/50/15's what is your rim size and backspacing? I'll be sqeezing a 9 with 5.5bs on the rear

thanks for advice

 

Black paint or show polish should take care of the letters on the inside. Even a big permanent marker coudl do it.

I had mine on 8.5" rims w/ 5" BS.

 

The BFG T/A's look nice but are not a really great handling tire. More suited for a muscle car or show car. I had a set on my old 73 Chevelle and eventually wore them out. They are what they are, an S rated tire with reasonably soft tread and sidewalls.

Great burnout tires though!
