Title: Front Tires??
Post by: Just a Six? on July 10 2012, 11:51:28 AM
Time for some front tires since mine are 11 years old with lots of tread but I hate the looks of them & have been saying I want new fronts for 5 years. Ordering from Tire Rack to BPG this year. Mine are Goodyear 215-60R & they seem to smallwith the MT 275-60 out back.
I'm pretty sure I want the the  BF TA 215-65R-15 since they are 26" tall. White letters IN.
Anyone else have any favourites that would look similar??
I will order them soon. They are in stock but that may change so I want to do it next week  :atbeer:

Firehawk Indy 500 on Deb's. seem good. I think that's what the TTAs run?
I like my Traction TAs but discontinued I believe.

BFG TA's may be the sorriest tires being made today and there have been many reports of failure by those that persist in using them.   I have read that they are not even made in house by BFG

The Traction TA were listed but only certain sizes & probably a few years old. I know mine are 11 years cuz my appraiser checks that stuff & mentioned that now I have a good reason to get rid of them.  :P

Coker may actually make the T/A's from what I have been told
